About us

Built by people who know the trades, for hauling operations.

Debris Removal Insurance is the hauling-focused division of Contractors Choice Agency — founded in 2005 by Josh Cotner, who knows exactly what happens when an under-limit auto policy or a pollution exclusion shows up in a claim denial.

Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner ran equipment, read specs, and filed certificates before founding CCA in 2005. That background is why we understand what's at stake when a loaded dump truck is in an accident, a roll-off box is damaged on a customer's property, or a demolition-debris load is questioned at disposal.

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on.

Operator-first, always

Josh spent years in the trades before starting the agency. We speak the language of hauling because we know what happens when coverage fails at claim time.

Coverage that closes the gaps

Under-limit auto, excluded cargo, missing MCS-90 filings, and pollution exclusions — we address the risks standard business markets miss.

A-rated specialty markets only

We shop trucking and contractor carriers with the financial strength and class experience to be there when a serious accident, injury, or pollution claim hits.

Honest, no-pressure advice

If you don't need a line of coverage, we'll tell you. We earn trust by being straight about what your hauling operation actually requires.
