In our latest IRMI Podcast episode, Joel Appelbaum sits down with Dave Johnson from Innovative Captive Strategies to explore how captives help delivery service partners (DSPs) manage their unique risks. As key players in the logistics and e-commerce industries, DSPs face challenges that traditional insurance may not effectively address. Mr. Johnson shares insights into how captives offer tailored coverage, cost stability, and proactive risk management.

The episode provides valuable perspectives on the benefits of captives for DSPs, including how these arrangements can help reduce costs and offer long-term stability in a dynamic marketplace. Mr. Johnson also highlights real-world examples of how captives have supported DSPs and discusses the evolving role of captives as new technologies, like autonomous deliveries, reshape the industry.
