LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTAaron Thomas, President | Safe Trucking Insurance Limited
Dear Shareholder,
Safe Trucking Insurance Limited began the journey in July 2005 and has grown
to 33 total member companies located throughout the United States. The
growth achieved to date refl ects an intelligent and diverse membership that
is proactively involved in charting a safe course to enhance the structure and
stability of Safe Trucking well into the future.
One of Safe Trucking’s greatest strengths is our commitment to safety.
Throughout this annual report, you will fi nd photos and logos of the members.
This group exemplifi es a variety of trucking companies with a wealth of
knowledge and experience brought together for one reason:
To bring some stability and predictability to a volatile cost segment of our
businesses in today’s environment, as well as for the future. Our success is
attributed to our members who contribute their time, ideas and energy to
control losses, manage claims and support the quality growth we have enjoyed.
I would also like to express my appreciation and thanks to our devoted service
partners. Without their hard work and dedication we would not be here today.
Sincerely,
Aaron Thomas, President

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING IN A CAPTIVE?REDUCE TOTAL COST OF RISK - Membership in a captive requires a significant
commitment to risk management. Rather than a conventional insurance
company profiting from the member’s superior financial condition and risk
management programs and using those profits to subsidize the premiums
of other less attractive companies, members of the captive can reduce their
cost of risk when losses are less than projected.
STABILIT Y OF THE PRICING C YCLE - With the group captive’s buying power and
retention, there is less exposure to market pricing, so the captive avoids the
disruptive underwriting cycles in the traditional marketplace.
OPTIMIZE RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - Loss prevention services are tailored to
meet the members’ individual needs and the cost of these services is included within
the premiums.
CLAIMS MANAGEMENT - Having members included in the claims process yields
a much better result than the insurance carrier dictating claim outcomes.
IMMEDIATE REWARD FOR REDUCING LOSSES - Captive members see the impact of an
improved risk management program through lower premiums and greater dividends.
CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT - In a captive, the member knows what their potential
losses are and can manage the cash flow required to fund those losses in a
more controlled manner.
COVERAGE AVAILABILIT Y - Captives can offer coverage that might not otherwise
be price competitive or available in the commercial markets. CHARLES BAILEY TRUCKING, INC.Cookeville, TN | Member Since 2015

NEW MEMBER CRITERIAThe underwriting guidelines of the company target a selection of high-quality,
commercial trucking companies who are looking to assume risk with other trucking
companies in a controlled environment. Membership criteria focuses on industry
best practices, recognizing that companies committed to quality have satisfied
clients and employees and, as a result, are financially successful over the long-term.
The target market is larger commercial trucking companies with consistent
commitment to training and safety and that have a strong core of key employees
focused on quality and safety as part of the job. The captive prefers to write auto
liability, physical damage, and workers’ compensation for all members.
The following guidelines describe the preferred characteristics of prospective
captive members, but with the understanding that each company is unique and
should be looked at according to its own merits.
1. FINANCIAL STABILITY – The captive is a long-term commitment thus requiring financially solid members.
2. TERRITORY – The captive is currently looking for members countrywide (48 states).
3. FLEETS – Fleet size of 50-500+ units.
4. PREMIUM OF $250,000 – Minimum premium of $250,000 across all linesof coverage.
5. MINIMUM OF FIVE YEARS IN BUSINESS – This allows for the “kinks” of a start-up operation to get worked out.
6. ON-SITE SAFET Y REVIEW – Each prospective member must pass an on-site safety review by the safety services provider to the captive.
HISTORY & MISSIONSafe Trucking Insurance Limited was created in 2005 to enable best-in-class trucking
companies to obtain insurance coverage at affordable rates. The founding members of
Safe Trucking believed that the traditional insurance industry was not responsive to their
commitment to proactive claims management, best-in-class safety cultures and superior
underwriting results. In forming Safe Trucking, the goal was to increase their buying
power in order to provide a competitive insurance alternative that allowed best-in-class
trucking companies many of the same benefits of control generally afforded to only
Fortune 500 companies.
The mission of Safe Trucking is to provide the highest quality insurance protection and
services for its shareholders. By joining together to create sharing of risk, the shareholders
can better control their insurance costs and avoid the volatility of the traditional insurance
marketplace. Additional benefits may be created through the stabilization of premiums
and the improved management of risk through effective loss control.
The company, through the active participation of its shareholders, endeavors to provide
the long-term security of a well-managed insurance company. To meet
this goal, Safe Trucking attempts to retain only those providers of services that the
company believes can meet the highest standards of excellence.
Safe Trucking was founded on the premise that insurance is a manageable cost. By fully
understanding what drives insurance costs, Safe Trucking shareholders are able to directly
impact their premiums and be rewarded for great performance. Through ownership in Safe
Trucking, shareholders have indeed taken control of their insurance destiny.

COMSTAR ENTERPRISES, INC.Tontitown, Arkansas | Member Since 2016
“The team at Comstar Enterprises, Inc. joined Safe Trucking Insurance Limited for the opportunity to learn and share best safety practices, to exchange knowledge with the member network and of course for the opportunity to reduce our insurance costs.”
Don E. Bridges, Controller | Comstar Enterprises, Inc.
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONSafe Trucking Insurance Limited reviews the ability to pay dividends once a year during
the February Board of Directors’ Meeting. At this meeting, the loss activity is reviewed
for all expired underwriting years and compared to the expected remaining liabilities
for that year as determined by an independent actuary. If the board determines
that there is more equity than is needed to pay for future liabilities they may decide
to declare a dividend for specifi c underwriting years. The dividend declaration is
ultimately based on each individual member's performance in that particular year
and will usually just be a portion of the available equity. The board will continue to
review that year and all others every February for further dividends until they close the
accounting on individual years at which time the remaining equity is distributed. Each
member/owner can easily see what their equity is for each of the underwriting years
via the company fi nancial statement.
During the last five years, Safe Trucking has distributed $2,250,301 in dividends
to its owners.
SAFETY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDSSafe Trucking recognizes outstanding achievement in safety and loss control
through the annual presentation of awards. 2016 awards have been presented to the
following companies:
Top Transportation Safety Assessment Score – Brent Redmond Transportation, Inc.
Top Auto Liability Loss Rate – Storey Trucking Company

DEDICATION TO A CULTURE OF SAFETYSafe Trucking partners with Safety Management Services Company (SMSC) to ensure
that all members are working towards a common set of safety standards and goals.
The safety consulting services are provided through a series of onsite visits, webinars
and other scheduled “touches” throughout the course of the underwriting year. An
annual safety audit (GAP analysis) serves as the starting point for all members and is
used to establish individualized company plans aimed at continuous improvement.
As a way to gauge each member’s safety results, a semi-annual scorecard is created to
provide the membership a transparent and competitive way to see how they stack up
to their best-in-class partners. This serves many functions:
• Clearly identifi es the leading safety conscious partners
• Allows a collaborative eff ort to inquire about best practices across businesses
• Friendly competition and awards
• Targets areas for improvement and tracks progress made
RISK CONTROL WORKSHOPS:
Semi-annual educational workshops are held at various locations throughout the
United States to keep safety at the forefront of all members. A broad spectrum of
safety experts, attorneys, insurance professionals, and claims experts headline the
workshops and highlight real life case studies to emphasize the importance that
proper safety and claim procedures play within the captive.
NUMBERS TELL THE SAFET Y STORY FOR SAFE TRUCKING:
• The average GAP Analysis score has increased 13% over the last 10 years.
• WC claims have steadily trended downward since 07/08 with a 10 year average of1.905 per million $ of payroll.
• No members have below a “Satisfactory” FMCSA rating.
