    I am an O/OP and am about to hire my first driver. My insurance cost is pretty low at approx. $650 a month for just myself. I need to know what any of you O/OPs pay to add a driver with a reasonably good record and experience. I don't see why it should cost any more since the risk is the same as when I am driving my truck. What should I expect? I am with Progressive now.

    Will probably stay the same, the truck that you add will make the monthly payments go up not the driver.

    I think it depends a lot on the experience of the driver you are hiring.
