    Revisit progressive, with the right agent you wont get such a bad quote, and for hot shot exposure they are the third largest carrier in the nation...

    To make sure you have unlimited mileage, place cargo with seperate carrier....

    If i can help let me know!

    Take care and god bless

    Hey Karen....
    GREAT to see you here!

    OK ya'll.... You've heard me rant and rave about my insurance gal... the cat's out of the bag. I won't violate terms of service here by posting phone numbers and links, but if you're looking for an aggressive insurance agent that provides outstanding quick service, this is your gal and is surely worth a visit.
    PM me for contact info.

    (uncompensated endorsement! I don't get anything for referrals I send her way. It's how I can say "thanks" to her and in return I know the friends I've referred are getting top drawer service)
     
    HwyPilot Thanks this.

    I just got my authority and I am getting tons of calls from Insurance companies. I was wondering if anyone can help me with getting good low cost insurance. What are the best places to get a good insurance and a great price?
    Thanks

    OOIDA for me anyway was not the cheapest and i've heard there insurance company is not that good, i have Zurich America and for my 06 Pete and 00 ravens flat $1,000,000 liability $100,000 cargo and $65,000 on truck and $10,000 on trailer for phys dam it's $9,024, a year my 03 Pete and 01 utility van $35,000 on truck and $8,000 on trailer phys dam its $6,600 a year plus i have $1,000,000 non trucking liability, when i renewed my agent checked canal and progressive and they were both about the same as i have now plus progressive you can get a 6month policy.

    According to my agent the rates are going down a bit as companies try to retain business. Said it has been tough on that side of the fence in the regard that a single o/o will reduce a policy to lease on to someone & a month or two later cancel everything.

    I called several & all had about the same quotes 'til I found this guy, but keep looking as there are big differences in both premiums & what they are willing to cover.

    I've got about the same setup as what you have although my trailer is a 2001. Send a PM to that gal that posted up above, Nationaltrucklady. She did a great job for me on my insurance....

    I second that on OOIDA [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]I called OOIDA to get a insurance quote and it was $1200 more than my local insurance and didnt have half as much coverage (ie; breakdown, towing, personal property, electronics and so on)[/FONT]
