Press Release

Palomar Insurance earned Sentry Insurance’s 2026 Agency of Excellence award, marking its fourth consecutive year of recognition. More than 70 years of experience, transportation coverage, in-house claims reporting, safety resources, and a strong Sentry relationship support Palomar’s work with trucking customers across the country.

Every construction project runs on a plan. There’s a schedule, a budget, a set of drawings, and a sequence everyone follows to get from dirt to done. Your insurance should work the same way.
