STAR Mutual RRG Named to the 2026 Inc 5000

Knoxville, TN – August 11, 2026

STAR Mutual Risk Retention Group has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc.’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.

The Inc. 5000 recognizes companies based on their percentage revenue growth over a three-year period. The ranking brings together businesses across industries that have demonstrated sustained growth and entrepreneurial performance.

For STAR Mutual, the recognition marks a notable step in the company’s continued development and reflects the progress we’ve made in building a carrier focused on the needs of today’s transportation businesses.

Built Around a Different Approach to Risk

STAR Mutual was built around a simple principle: commercial auto insurance works better when each risk is assessed on its own merits, rather than priced primarily by business class.

That principle is at the core of STAR Mutual’s disciplined underwriting approach. Each operator is evaluated on its own record, and pricing can improve as the operation demonstrates safe, consistent performance over time—a structure designed to support a sound risk pool while giving safety-first operators a clearer path to better pricing as their performance develops.

The same focus on industry-specific expertise extends to claims. Operators are supported by specialists with trucking experience who understand the realities of the business and the risks involved.

Being included on the Inc. 5000 reflects a lot of hard work, but for us, the value of that work is what we are building for the people we serve. We are invested in the success of our insureds and the agents who represent them. That means underwriting risk carefully, responding quickly and being there when it matters. This is an encouraging milestone on a longer path. Our focus remains where it has always been: growing responsibly and improving continuously for the members we serve.

Growth With Purpose

The ranking reflects growth, but growth alone isn't the story STAR Mutual set out to tell. What matters is what stands behind it.

For STAR Mutual, the significance of that growth is the continued demand from transportation businesses and independent agents for an insurance partner built around ease, responsiveness, fair pricing and disciplined risk management.

Within the Inc. 5000 list, STAR Mutual also placed No. 21 among insurance companies. The underwriting model is designed to support a sound risk pool and give safety-first operators pricing that reflects how they actually run.

STAR Mutual believes disciplined underwriting is what keeps the risk pool sound, and a sound pool is what lets the company deliver for insureds over time.

A Milestone Shared With Agents and Insureds

The ranking is a reflection of transportation companies and insurance agents that have chosen to work with the company.

STAR Mutual distributes exclusively through independent agents and wholesalers, keeping the client at the center through the agent distribution model.

Our goal has never been growth for growth’s sake. It has been to build a better way to manage commercial auto risk and to create carrier relationships that work for the long term. We appreciate the trust every operator has placed in us to get here—and that trust is what keeps pushing us to be better.

STAR Mutual Risk Retention Group provides commercial auto liability insurance to transportation businesses, owner-operators and contractors through appointed independent agents across 40+ states. The company holds a Demotech “A” (Exceptional) Financial Stability Rating and is supported by A+ rated reinsurance partners. STAR Mutual combines disciplined underwriting, performance-based pricing, trucking-focused claims expertise and technology-enabled service to support safety-first operators and the agents who serve them.
