what about commercial auto and cargo insurance for drive away?
-
Never done drive away if your meanin where you grab the car and drive it across yourself I dont have a clue about that but seems it would be way less them what carriers need.

Thats what im talking about except i was talking about ...with trucks. But apparently I was being an idiot and posted this here and in its own thread and got a good answer.
I ned non-owned truck insurance and nothing else and thats enough to get an MC number.

Well, after some calculating for myself I found out that buying a truck, trailer, a few months salary and some starting cash (fuel, damages, etc..) is absolutely no problem. The only problem that occurs to me is, by the time I'm going to America I will be aprox 25 years old, maybe a year older. Which means that I will have 6 years of European OTR experience, will the American insurance companies hold notice with this or does it mean once I come to the USA I will have to start all over again? That the European miles will simply be ignored and that the company will refuse to insure me until I drive in the USA for a few years.
Or will the insurance company tell me 'Ok, you have over a million legal European miles, here are the papers, please sign and your insured'
Thanks in advance,
Dutched. -
Best thing to do is contact insurance companies and get your answer straight from the source!
