Talk to Toby

A real specialist, not a call center

Toby Stubbs, President of Wisdom Insurance Agency

Meet Toby Stubbs

The agency started with one question: why doesn’t this industry have its own insurance specialist?

Toby began his insurance career in 2004 at a commercial agency in the Chicago suburbs, learning risk management from the ground up. In 2013 he founded Wisdom Insurance Agency with a different idea: instead of insuring everything for everyone, focus entirely on junk removal and dumpster rental businesses — learn their trucks, their contracts, their jobsites, their risks — and become the specialist the industry never had.

More than a decade later, that’s still the whole model: when you call, you talk to Toby. He reviews your operation personally and builds coverage around how your business actually runs.

I initially spoke with the owner, Toby, while looking for insurance for my junk removal and dumpster rental business, including commercial auto and general liability coverage. From the very beginning, it was obvious that Toby takes tremendous pride in every customer and every aspect of the service they provide. He takes the time to get to know each customer, understand their needs, and find the best way to help while building a great rapport. After our first couple of conversations, I absolutely wanted to be a part of this great team. I was then assigned to Jim, who handled all of the policies I needed and provided as many truck insurance quotes as I requested. I probably had Jim quote more trucks than he expected, and at times I felt like I was asking a lot of him, but he never once made me feel that way. Every time I found another truck, he had a quote back to me quickly and was always happy to answer my questions. He is truly amazing to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and worked hard to find coverage that fit both my needs and my budget without sacrificing the protection I was looking for. Having someone that responsive made the entire buying process much less stressful. Throughout the entire process, both Toby and Jim were honest, upfront, and genuinely cared about helping me make the right decisions instead of simply making a sale. That level of professionalism and integrity is hard to find these days. Thank you both for everything. I will gladly recommend your company to anyone looking for insurance, and I look forward to continuing to do business with you for many years to come.

Over the last couple years, finding commercial insurance for our rolloff dumpster business in California has been a struggle. Toby and his team are by far the most knowledgeable folks I’ve talked to in both the dumpster rental and Junk Removal space. He was able to identify. I was being misclassified and save me a tremendous amount of money annually with a new policy with higher overage limits…. Highly recommend speaking to Toby or one of his team members for additional information

We started our removal service last year, 86junkremovalNW LLC, I was Introduced to Toby through a mutual friend who was already using Toby. I was hesitant due to the overall cost of commercial insurance, but after watching Toby, Wisdom Ins, and Garrett from AroundTown Junk Removal down in Arizona, do a very informational interview I learned that the cost of insurance was inexpensive compared to the cost of not being covered and being covered correctly. Toby and his team walked me through the steps and details of my policy and were so patient in helping me to understand my policy. Farrah helped me to save a bit of money by making some very good suggestions as to the components of my insurance and I can wait on until I needed it. Today is the 10/17 and I'm fully commercially insured. Thanks Toby and team, I'm glad to partner with you guys. I can't recommend these guys enough.

Can't say enough about Toby at Wisdom Insurance. Not only was he able to provide me a great GL policy in California, he took time to talk with me about his involvement and knowledge in the industry. Thanks! Toby

My company was paying far too much for insurance. Toby and Wisdom insurance were strongly recommended by many in the field. We gave it a shot and he lived up to the hype and more! He’s got all the information and all the answers! Couldn’t be happier with our experience with these guys, highly recommend!

The team at Wisdom Insurance has been helpful in navigating insurance matters for my junk removal business. It is a benefit that junk removal is one of their specialties, they have insight and experience into the industry that other agencies don't have.
