“Plowing The Mule”
Truitt Insurance & Bonding was officially founded as the John H. Truitt Insurance Agency in 1991 by John Truitt. John remains a driving force in the agency with February 2012 seeing him reach 50 years in the insurance industry.
As he often reminds us all, John spent many, many days plowing a field behind a mule while growing up outside of Tallasee, Alabama. He rightfully (and constantly) points out, if growing up looking at a mule’s rear-end doesn’t give you a burning desire to do something different, you simply cannot be motivated.
John has taken that motivation and begun a career that has brought him success on both the insurance company and agency side of the industry. He worked with major companies including Gulf American Insurance Company, Insurance Company of North America (INA), Reliance Insurance Company and well known agencies Molton Allen & Williams and Johnson-Rast & Hays Company before beginning Truitt Insurance & Bonding.
The insurance business has been a fantastic ride for John. He plans to continue doing what he loves until he reaches 100 so there are many years ahead we will all have to hear about that blasted mule.
