Nelson Insurance is a family-owned independent insurance agency based in South Dakota with deep roots in the trucking industry. Our team specializes in trucking insurance and understands the real-world risks that trucking companies, owner-operators, and agricultural haulers face every day because we grew up around the industry ourselves. We work with trucking operations across the Midwest and throughout the country, helping clients protect everything from long-haul fleets to specialized agricultural trucking operations.

Nearly all of our team members have earned trucking-specific designations such as TRIP or TRS certifications, and we actively continue our education through trucking safety programs and industry organizations. We are members of the MCIEF, participate in the South Dakota Trucking Association Safety Council, and have even spoken at South Dakota Trucking Association events. We have also sponsored the Evergreen Safety Council, one of the largest pilot car safety organizations in the nation, helping support safer trucking and oversize load operations across the industry.

In addition to our broader transportation practice, we also operate a dedicated division focused specifically on agricultural trucking insurance through AgriculturalTruckingInsurance.com. This division was built specifically for businesses involved in grain hauling, livestock transportation, fertilizer hauling, feed hauling, milk hauling, custom harvesting, and other agriculture-related trucking operations. Our goal is simple: provide trucking companies with knowledgeable guidance, strong coverage options, and an agency partner that truly understands the industry.
