Bernie Warriner grew up in a small farming community in the Midwest. In the midst of pursuing a mechanical engineering degree he moved west to Butte, Montana to attend Montana Tech and changing his field of study to Safety.

Warriner’s experience in the safety field included work with ACRO ALASKA in Prudoe Bay, Alaska as responsible for transportation and site safety for all contractors on the Alaskan slope. Later, he worked with the Department of Energy as an Industrial Hygienist at a coal-fired electrical generation plant in Butte. Thereafter, he gained additional experience in construction site safety at a similar plant in Craig, Colorado. During this period he gained several years of experience while completing a BS degree in Occupational Safety and Health.

In 1984 Bernie headed to Dallas, Texas, taking a position with Liberty Mutual Insurance as a Loss Prevention Representative specializing in Transportation and Oil Field risks. Thereafter Warriner worked with Leaseway Transporation’s Dallas leasing division office providing single source leasing of trucks, drivers, and management to private companies. Several years later he joined Transport Insurance, one of the largest trucking insurance companies in the country. He became a District Sales Manager covering Houston and East Texas, eventually taking over responsibility for nine states throughout the west and southwest.

Warriner left Dallas in 1992 and moved to Houston, starting a Trucking Insurance Division for a regional independent insurance agency. Soon thereafter he started his own company which has grown steadily due to great customers and a dedicated, professional staff. As Bernie has often said, “The experience I have gained in safety, transportation, and risk management are put into action daily. It is fun to do what I do.”

Bernie Warriner, in addition to his professional training in safety and risk management, holds the coveted designation of CFS (Certified Fleet Safety) Director Level, one of only 150 such professionals in Texas that are certified in helping companies manage their safety and fleet operations. He is member of the Texas Motor Transportation Association, the Houston and Austin Council of Safety Professionals, and the Texas Association of Independent Agents. Warriner holds insurance licenses as a Texas Local Recording Agent and as a non-resident agent in LA, ARK, OK, NM, CO, AZ, UT, & CA.
