About Andy Sharpe

For 25 years, I’ve lived at the intersection of transportation and insurance. I started at my family’s brokerage, which is now part of Relation Insurance, and today I lead as the founder of meshVI.I built meshVI because the industry’s reliance on static data is a \"verification tax\" that everyone pays. When you rely on a PDF certificate, you are looking at a snapshot that is often out of date the moment it is saved. This leads to fraud, double-brokering, and massive operational headaches.We are changing that through Active Policy Operations (APO). With meshVerified, we created a real-time source of truth that connects agency data directly to the supply chain. This gives brokers and shippers live insurance data down to the VIN and driver level, while carriers get #PreferredDispatch status because they can finally prove they are covered in real-time.Even as we scale the technology side, I am still active in the brokerage world. As a Regional Transportation Leader at Transure Services, I manage risk programs for 50+ unit fleets. Using our own tech in the field every day ensures it is actually solving the problems that matter to motor carriers and their agents.If you want to automate your InsurOps, click the \'Visit my website\' button at the top of my profile to join the #PreferredDispatch movement.
