About Motive Insurance Agency

Insurance Built for The Long Haul

An independent agency founded on a simple idea: every client deserves straightforward, reliable coverage without the runaround.

Our Story

Honest Expertise. Personal Service.

Motive Insurance Agency, LLC was founded by Roy Richards in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a focus on the people who keep America's freight moving. Truckers were tired of agencies that didn't understand their business, didn't return calls and disappeared when a claim came in.

Today we serve owner-operators and fleets across 22 states, and we've grown to protect the rest of our clients' lives too: their businesses, their personal vehicles and their families through life and health coverage.

Whether you're a first-time owner-operator or managing a growing fleet, we walk you through every option. No pressure, no surprises. Just honest expertise and a policy built around you.

Roy Richards, MBA, TRIP®

Founder & Principal Agent

Roy combines an MBA with the TRIP® designation and a deep focus on commercial transportation insurance. He works directly with clients on every account, from new-authority owner-operators to multi-state fleets.
