This partnership aims to support the trucking and delivery industry while also promoting safety and economic growth in the state.

In a statement, Beacon’s President & CEO, Brian J. Spero, highlighted the impact this partnership can have on the industry and the state as a whole. “The trucking and delivery industry plays a critical role in Rhode Island’s economy, and we are committed to supporting its growth and success,” said Spero. “By partnering with RITA, we can provide our policyholders who are RITA members with access to valuable safety resources and reward them for their commitment to safety.
