Con-way Truckload announced a new program where owner-operators will have the opportunity to obtain healthcare benefits provided by a third-party insurance carrier.


The program, known as TrueChoices, is offered by TrueNorth, a collaborative insurance and financial strategies firm that provides health care and other insurance products. It is the first time Con-way Truckload has offered healthcare benefits to owner-operators.

Under the TrueChoices program, owner-operators leasing with Con-way Truckload may select from an array of stand-alone insurance benefits. These products include four medical and two dental insurance options, as well as vision, short-term and long-term disability, life, accident and critical illness policies.

The application process is paperless and completed during a recorded conversation that is voice stamped and stored for future reference, if needed.

The TrueChoices program is available through membership in the non-profit Truckers Service Association, an industry association that provides motor carriers and independent owner-operators with insurance solutions. Con-way Truckload owner-operators can join TSA for a $9 per month membership fee, which then provides access to the TrueChoices program.
