Great West Casualty Company
Company Overview
Our mission is to be "the" premier provider of insurance products and services for truckers. Our identity, our business and our success are linked to trucking, the industry that moves our nation's economy.
Company History
Founded to serve the needs of the trucking industry, Great West Casualty Company has become one of America's largest insurers of trucking companies. Seeing things from our customer's perspective has contributed to the cooperative relationships we have developed throughout the decades. In 1936 our company founder, Joseph A. Morten, started a business to help truckers obtain operating authority from the states. His son, Joseph W. Morten, joined the business, and they sought to meet the other needs of his clients, such as insurance. In 1956, Great West was formed. From that moment on, a partnership with trucking professionals and a tradition of service was firmly established into our company culture. The growth of Great West over the years has come from knowing, understanding, and serving the needs of the trucking industry, to meeting and exceeding our customers’ needs. In 1985, we were acquired by Old Republic International Corporation, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Great West has been assigned an A.M. Best's Rating of A+ (Superior) and currently maintains an AA (very Strong) rating with Standard & Poor's Rating Service. Great West has also received an Aa2 (Excellent) rating from Moody's Investors Service. With its parent company, and financial strength and stability, Great West has the means to protect what is most important to truckers…their future.
