A Conversation with CEO Dan Abrahamsen and MCIEF’s John Love

The trucking insurance industry is rapidly evolving, and companies that embrace innovation are leading the charge. At the forefront of this movement is Cover Whale, a company that has made a name for itself with technology-driven insurance solutions tailored to the trucking industry. In a recent interview, Dan Abrahamsen, CEO and Founder of Cover Whale, sat down with MCIEF’s John Love to discuss the company’s growth, upcoming innovations, and what attendees can expect from their presence at the 2025 MCIEF Annual Conference in Orlando.

Not only is Cover Whale a leader in trucking insurance technology, but they are also the Grand Event Sponsor for the Annual Conference’s Opening Reception on April 15. As John pointed out, “April 15th isn’t just tax day—it’s networking day!” Thanks to Cover Whale’s generosity, attendees can look forward to an engaging and dynamic start to this highly anticipated industry event.

Cover Whale 2.0: A New Era in Trucking Insurance

Abrahamsen highlighted Cover Whale’s impressive growth over the past five years. What began as an ambitious startup has matured into an industry leader, providing speed, efficiency, and risk management solutions for producers and insureds alike. But 2025 is a turning point—Cover Whale 2.0 is launching.

So, what does this new phase mean for producers and agents? Abrahamsen outlined several key improvements:

  • A New Tech Platform: Faster, more efficient quoting and underwriting.
  • Improved Producer Experience: Easier commission statements, billing processes, and endorsement changes.
  • Enhanced Risk Management Tools: Making it easier for agents to place trucking insurance while ensuring better risk evaluation.

For trucking producers who have been navigating a challenging market, these updates aim to remove barriers, improve workflow efficiency, and create a seamless user experience from quoting to claims.

Education and Networking: Cover Whale’s Commitment to MCIEF

Beyond technology, Cover Whale places great emphasis on education and industry collaboration. Abrahamsen stressed the importance of MCIEF’s role in providing industry-leading training, not only for their internal team but also for the broader insurance community.

“Trucking insurance is complex,” Abrahamsen stated. “If you’re not specialized in trucking, it’s easy to get lost in regulatory requirements. That’s why we value the education MCIEF provides, and we encourage our producer base to take advantage of it.”

For Cover Whale, the MCIEF Annual Conference is more than just an event—it’s an opportunity to engage with other industry leaders, share knowledge, and help producers enhance their trucking insurance expertise.

Looking Ahead: What to Expect at the MCIEF Annual Conference

Cover Whale is bringing a large team to Orlando this year, including underwriters, sales executives, and tech specialists. Their goal? To connect with agents, discuss industry challenges, and introduce their newest innovations.

Beyond their sponsorship of the Opening Reception, Cover Whale will be active participants throughout the conference, attending educational sessions, networking events, and key discussions on trucking insurance’s biggest challenges and opportunities.

For agents and producers looking to stay ahead in the industry, meeting with the Cover Whale team should be high on the priority list.
