About Us
Family Operation
Truck Insurance Office, Inc. (TIO) is a family owned and operated insurance agency that has been in business for over 50 years. John Glinski Sr. started the agency in 1969 after a 20 year underwriting career with Safeco Insurance Company. John Jr. (Jack) joined his father in 1976 and John III came on board in 2000, rounding out 3 generations of trucking expertise. Truck insurance has always been and always will be the sole focus of TIO.
What Sets Us Apart – “SERVICE”
Trucking is a very competitive industry that often demands quick processing of certificates, equipment changes and driver qualifications, to name a few. A certificate not being sent in a timely manner can mean the difference between securing a load or losing it. At TIO, certificate requests take top priority and are processed within 2 to 3 minutes on average. We want to become part of your business team and help you reach your goals. Come find out what it means to work with TIO.
Integrity
We take pride in having a talented, well educated staff that are committed to providing the personal attention our clients need and expect. We help our clients be proactive and navigate through challenging situations when they arise by being truthful and upfront. “We’re driven by our clients’ success.”
Make It A Great Day: The Choice Is Yours
“Whatever you do, don’t forget to have fun.”
Truck insurance, although a very important subject, is not very exciting. It’s not like buying a new car, you can’t see it, touch it or smell it (oh, the new car smell). The crew at TIO works hard, but we also have a ton of fun throughout the day. Give us a call or request a quote from the tab above and see what TIO can do for you.

From Richard: “When I started with Truck Insurance Office an incredibly wise person told me. “Once you start in Insurance it has a way of keeping you here for the long haul”. I look back at that moment and realize I made a great choice. I get to work every day with the people who make our lives better in a million different ways. Truckers truly keep the United States moving forward.”

Steve started his career in insurance in 2005 doing personal lines. He joined the team at TIO in November of 2015. In Steve’s words: “My favorite part of my job is educating people of the importance of insurance. Every policy is different, so every call is an opportunity to break some of the ‘myths’ of insurance and the companies providing these policies. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to do what I love and for an agency that cares about their clients as much as I do. I would also like to add that I am single, I prefer redheads, I’m funny, love to cook and can fold a bottom sheet!” In his spare time you can find Steve spending time with his dog Lexy, golfing, hiking and just spending time outdoors. Steve’s positive outlook and attitude bring a fun energy to the office.
