About Steve Wagler
Steve Wagler serves as Partner and Director of Sales at Josslin Insurance Brokers, bringing his Bachelor of Arts degree and Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker (CAIB) certification to one of Waterloo Region's most established insurance institutions. Together with his brother Scott, Steve represents the second generation of the Wagler family to lead this 144-year-old brokerage.
Josslin Insurance's roots trace back to 1880, and the Wagler family's continued stewardship reflects a commitment to the community-focused insurance service that has defined the brokerage for generations. Located in Cambridge at the heart of Waterloo Region, Josslin serves a diverse commercial community including the area's significant trucking population.
Steve's specialty in new ventures and startup trucking insurance addresses one of the industry's most challenging niches. New entrants to trucking face significant insurance hurdles: limited operating history, no established safety record, and insurers wary of unproven operations. Steve's expertise helps new trucking companies navigate these challenges and secure the coverage they need to launch their businesses.
Understanding that new authority insurance requires a different approach than established operations, Steve has developed relationships with carriers who specialize in startup trucking risks. His guidance covers the full spectrum of new venture concerns: understanding first-year premium expectations, building a coverage program that can grow with the business, and establishing safety practices that will qualify for better rates over time.
Steve's contributions to Ontario Trucking Insurance focus on making trucking entrepreneurship accessible. His practical advice on startup costs, insurance requirements for new authorities, and strategies for building an insurability track record helps aspiring owner-operators understand what it takes to launch a trucking business in Ontario. His community-focused approach means he treats every new trucking venture as a neighbor worthy of guidance and support.
