OFFERING TRUCKING INSURANCE SINCE 1936
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A NATIONAL COMMERCIAL TRUCKING INSURANCE AGENCY
Joe Morten & Son, Inc. started in 1936 in South Sioux City, Nebraska. Joseph A. Morten saw a chance to help truckers understand new rules from the state and federal government. What began as a one-man business quickly grew into a small company. They offered insurance made for truckers and gave great customer service to many drivers and trucking companies.
Joe Morten & Son, Inc. did so well that, just twenty years later, it helped start Great West Casualty Company. Great West was created to handle insurance company operations, like underwriting and claims. Meanwhile, Joe Morten & Son kept focusing on working directly with trucking companies, offering the insurance products and services they needed.
Today, Joe Morten & Son has a national presence, representing over 9.000 customers in 46 states. Alongside its corporate office, which remains in South Sioux City, Joe Morten & Son, Inc. has service locations in: Phoenix, Arizona; Littleton, Colorado; Nampa, Idaho; Willowbrook, Illinois; Urbandale, Iowa; Grand Island, Nebraska; Wilsonville, Oregon; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Arlington, Texas. We are Great West Casualty Company’s largest agency.
Joe Morten & Son, Inc. is affiliated with Great West Casualty Company, which is owned by the Old Republic International Corporation group of insurance companies. Old Republic International Corporation ranks among the nation’s 50 largest publicly held insurance organizations with a substantial interest in major segments of the industry.
