Another #### insurance question.

I would make sure in writing that the rate won’t go up once you signed up.

all I can say.


Also makes a difference the 20k being tossed around is for new entrants.

 

I would make sure that quotes in writing and that your rate won’t go up one month after signing up. Progressive is know to do that. But that’s a good rate from them.

 

I don’t know if the contract has any provisions that state rate is locked in for the term, or if they have the right to renegotiate the rate. One thing I know before signing it, read it.

 

That's about right for having real world experience and being over 30.

 

I wouldn’t say that.

I have more experience then that, yet my rate comes in twice that much.

 

Get it in writing and check mileage distance , they may only cover you so far . Rate sounds really low for new entrants.

 

I would continue with the leasing onto Mercer plan you had versus getting your own authority, unless you really plan on going out and knocking on doors etc etc to obtain contract customers.

Working strictly spot market off boards and apps is nothing but a race to the bottom competing with fuel money haulers and folks who have no business being in business.


With the current conditions of the economy and the excessively oversaturated trucking industry IMO leasing on somewhere is definitely a better option.
