Ian McCowan

Ian McCowan serves as President and Owner of D.G. Dunbar Insurance, a London-based brokerage that has specialized in transportation insurance for over 45 years. Under Ian's leadership, D.G. Dunbar has become the go-to resource for trucking companies throughout Southwest Ontario seeking expert coverage advice and competitive rates.

D.G. Dunbar's dedicated "Transportation" division employs specialists who focus exclusively on the trucking and logistics industry. This concentrated expertise allows Ian and his team to design risk management programs that address the specific challenges facing long-haul operators—from extended highway exposure to the complexities of multi-provincial operations.

London's strategic position along the 401 corridor makes D.G. Dunbar a natural partner for trucking companies running Ontario's busiest freight lane. Ian's understanding of long-haul operations encompasses everything from electronic logging device compliance to rest stop security concerns, cargo temperature management for temperature-sensitive loads, and the unique liability exposures of overnight parking.

Ian's approach to long-haul insurance emphasizes comprehensive coverage that protects truckers over extended distances and time periods. His expertise covers the full spectrum of OTR (over-the-road) insurance needs: primary liability adequate for major highway incidents, cargo coverage for diverse freight types, and physical damage protection for trucks that accumulate significant annual mileage.

The firm's 45-year history in transportation insurance means Ian has access to established relationships with insurers who specialize in long-haul trucking risks. These relationships often translate to better coverage terms and more competitive pricing for D.G. Dunbar clients compared to generalist brokerages.
