    How are the insurance rates set up doing this?

    What are you talking physical damage?

    I’ve heard you have to have unlaiden liability too....

    And some comp/ occupational accident type coverage

    Yes. All of them. He said he bought the physical and bobtail though a 3rd party company and it was less then the ls offered insurance.

    Just didn't know if this was a common thing or one off deal.

    It's not common. And remember you need hazmat.

    Only guy I ever talked to that said he had private insurance was a married couple in a super a sleeper.

    Landstar's agent is cheap.

    I'd liken this to insurance offers i get that guarantee they will save me a $1K year on my car insurance.

    It's only $1200 year to start with.

    I didn't watch the whole thing. He never says the value of his truck.

    Bobtail is all the same.

    The collision is what is variable and is based on the value of the truck.

    I liked his intro about the "stuff" Landstar takes care of, he never once mentions billing, just a little thing like that.

    Driver has a bit to do with it too.

    Two of mine are $5 / $1K ---- two are $4.20 / $1K using your formula.
