"Like TrueNorth, Dave Schmitt Construction has evolved over the years to meet our clients' needs. When our team decided to purchase an asphalt preservation company and expand operations, we looked to TrueNorth for guidance and support. Their holistic approach to the acquisition exposed areas of a risk and with their help, we were able to plan accordingly. We are grateful for their guidance, insight and support to make this business venture what it was - a significant milestone in Dave Schmitt Construction's continued success."

"When ASF Intermodal merged with ContainerPort Group to become one of the top ten largest intermodal carriers in the country, having a steward and partner like TrueNorth was critical. It ensured a seamless organizational transition and allowed us to charter a path to maximize our evolving business. TrueNorth's methodical planning and subject matter expertise allowed us to focus on critical needs and ensure our risk, safety and compliance teams could keep pace. They've helped us architect an enterprise risk management infrastructure that will take us into the next decade."

"QCR Holdings and TrueNorth partnered in 2018 when TrueNorth became our benefit consultants. TrueNorth delivered on their promises and were able to provide immediate savings by recommending a different network with no disruption to our employees (our ID cards didn’t even change!). They also did an analysis and recommended taking on a higher limit based on our growth, which has served us well. TrueNorth has also helped with our medical plan design, making changes to encourage wise consumerism and introduce web-based decision tools to help educate and empower our employees on their benefit elections.
TrueNorth introduced QCR Holdings to a prescription benefit management firm. This PBM is completely transparent and has helped us contain our rising pharmacy benefit spend! The implementation was very smooth and led to a successful prescription benefit roll-out with no member disruption. While collaborating with TrueNorth and our new PBM, QCR Holdings has effectively managed its prescription spend over the past year. This was made possible by TrueNorth and the PBM recommending and executing on innovative and proactive cost-saving strategies to lower cost medications and pharmacies in a pass-through, transparent pricing model!
In addition to significantly containing costs, we know our employees are more educated, engaged and have direct access to real people who care for our employees as much as we do!"

"We have trusted TrueNorth to be our sole broker relating to those services for which they provide for over two years now. As a motor carrier heavily invested in growth mode, we were well aware of the potential exposures and complexities that can come with that. We truly see TrueNorth as an extension of our business and value the relationship beyond the placement of insurance."

"TrueNorth is great to work with! As a leasing company, we deal with insurance agents from all over the country. It's not often we find an agency that consistently exceeds our expectations, but True North does just that. Their team of knowledgeable licensed agents provides high quality customer service, and they're always willing to go above and beyond to assist our staff and lessees alike. Customer service is not an afterthought at True North, it's a priority!"

"We have partnered with TrueNorth TrueChoices for just over one year and it's been a great experience. They are process driven, customer oriented and strive to deliver on their commitments at all times. Their health insurance plans for our Independent Contractors have been received well as they closely match the health insurance they had in the past. We've had few concerns over the past year, and when we had them, TrueChoices was quick to help us get them resolved. Their billing process has worked well for us and we've had few, if any issues with it. We recommend selecting them as your health plan administrator."

"In my position with CRST Malone Inc., the most important part of my job is to keep our contractors happy. In the past we have tried many programs and services to help fill the medical and other insurance needs of our contractors. More times than not, the result ended badly with poor coverage and customer service. This was an irritant to our drivers and actually caused some very good guys to decide to cancel their lease with CRST. A choice was made to start using the services of TrueNorth. Since beginning our relationship with your company the complaint calls are practically non-existent. Our drivers are happier and I have had no lease cancellations due to Insurance issues. I just wanted to thank you for your help and the services you provide. It is nice to know that there are still companies that believe in doing things the right way."
Jeff Loggins
CRST Malone

From surety and insurance to contracts and loss control, TrueNorth brings to our team a level of technical expertise and practical experience that is unmatched in our industry. With the application of technology innovation and constructive discontent relative to the status quo, we look forward to the opportunity to continue to strengthen our relationship, and improve our overall operations.

"TrueChoices was able to provide a quality program at affordable prices for our owner operator base. They provide one-on-one information sessions to the owner operator and take on 100% of the enrollment process making the program a very manageable administratively."
Berta Moreno
RoadOne
"I think TrueChoices is wonderful and what a great opportunity for our owner operators to find affordable coverage. No hassle, one call does it all I was told by one driver. They call the number and find a nice friendly voice on the other end which is a nice touch that helps explain what you have to offer in detail. The idea that the premium can be taken directly from the settlement check was a hit with the drivers I spoke with. NO hassle forgetting about making the payment."

"When we moved to the TrueNorth Construction Specialty Group, we didn't really know what to expect after their presentation but had high expectations based on their promises. Over a short period of time we're truly pleased to see them over-deliver. In all of our years in business we had never seen this level of service from the insurance industry. They are a deep resource that has brought added value to our company beyond insurance. We are glad to have them as part of our team."
