Jason A. Grove, CISR - Last Mile Producer/Program Manager

Jason was introduced to the Last Mile Delivery industry in 2010.  He was fresh out of college, new to the insurance industry, and hungry to write business.  He ran into a friend from the past who had recently purchased a single FedEx Ground route.  That friend offered to let Jason review the insurance program he was provided by FedEx.  After lots of researching and marketing, Jason was able to put together a quote that offered better coverage for half the price.  Word spread organically and over time, Jason became one of the premier agents for FedEx Ground ISPs in his home state.  As the industry rapidly grew, so did his client base and his regional footprint.  Now Jason and the Last Mile Team have insurance solutions for all types of Last Mile companies across the Southwest.  Jason has knowledge and expertise to help your delivery business succeed.

John Powell - Last Mile Delivery Insurance Specialist

From client to agent, John Powell is a very important addition to Grove & Davis.  In 2010, John Powell was the Last Mile Delivery client that started it all.  It was clear that an intricate working knowledge of the industry was key to being successful and that it was lacking among most insurance agents.  Grove & Davis got John Powell educated and licensed as a commercial insurance agent to fill this void.  John Powell keeps Grove & Davis informed of the ever-changing delivery environment, because he continues to operate two large delivery businesses.  He is uniquely qualified to help all delivery businesses strategize about insurance solutions.  That adds priceless value as this insurance marketplace becomes increasingly difficult to navigate
