OTA Dispatch Issue 4 2019

Oregon Trucking Associations, Inc. 32 Oregon Truck Dispatch Have an event you’d like OTA to attend or a good story to share? Contact info@ortrucking.org OTA News, cont. Thank you to our annual sponsors that help support our association’s mission! Diamond GREAT WEST CASUALTY COMPANY Gold Silver Bronze Transportation and Trucking Workers’ Comp Group Formed In an effort to improve the health and safety of workers in the transportation and trucking industry, SAIF has worked with Oregon Trucking Associations (OTA) to form the Transportation and Trucking Workers’ Comp group. While OTA had previously endorsed SAIF as their carrier of choice, they didn’t have a group discount product. This agreement will extend the current product to OTA members that meet underwriting criteria effective January 1, 2020. This product will have a group discount of 2%. When SAIF partners with industry associations we look for alignment with our vision and values, those that are representatives of their industry, and a strong marketing opportunity. Similar to SAIF, OTA is a not-for-profit organization that strives to improve worker safety. The addition of a group product for OTA provides SAIF with a new market opportunity, as they are the largest association for the trucking industry in the state, and the opportunity to work more closely with OTA on sharing our combined safety messages. If you have questions, contact Lyn Zielinski-Mills, SAIF marketing manager, at lynzie@saif.com.
