COMPANY OVERVIEW

For over 26 years, insuring trucks has been our business at Burnett Insurance Corporation — our only business. We see things from the trucker’s perspective because we’ve been there ourselves.

Our experience gives us a special understanding for the unique challenges drivers face on the road today.  It's a unique insight into the business that keeps America moving and it translates into superior service for our customers.

Today Burnett Insurance serves clients in 12 states from our regional office in Little Rock, Arkansas.
