About Jennifer Oegema
Jennifer Oegema represents the third generation of insurance professionals leading Oegema, Nicholson & Associates (ONA), one of Eastern Ontario's largest and most established independent insurance brokerages. Her combined credentials—Bachelor of Business Administration from Bishop's University, Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker (CAIB), and Canadian Professional Insurance Broker (CPIB)—reflect an exceptional commitment to professional excellence.
Founded in 1961, ONA has grown under successive generations of family leadership to encompass five locations across the Ottawa Valley, serving thousands of commercial and personal insurance clients. Jennifer's role as President positions her at the center of one of Ottawa's most respected business institutions, with deep roots in the region's commercial community.
Jennifer's specialty in CVOR and regulatory compliance addresses one of the most critical—and often overlooked—aspects of trucking insurance. Ontario's Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR) system directly impacts insurance eligibility and pricing. Jennifer's expertise helps trucking companies understand how their safety rating affects premiums, what violations trigger insurance consequences, and how to maintain a CVOR profile that qualifies for competitive rates.
The Ottawa location serves truckers operating along key Eastern Ontario corridors, including the 401 to Montreal, the 417 to Kingston, and cross-border routes into Quebec and the northeastern United States. Jennifer's understanding of provincial and interprovincial regulatory requirements helps trucking clients navigate the complex patchwork of transportation regulations.
Jennifer's contributions to Ontario Trucking Insurance focus on the intersection of compliance and insurance—helping truckers understand that regulatory excellence isn't just about avoiding fines, but about qualifying for better coverage at better prices. Her practical guidance on CVOR management has helped numerous trucking operations improve their safety ratings and reduce their insurance costs.
