I have my own authority (will need to reactivate it) and want to run independently as I don't want to go out every week. My insurance lady implied insurance as a car hauler will be more expensive than pulling a dry van (IF I can even get it) !!!! How does an independent O/O get started ?? Or is it even possible.?? Are there insurers that specialize in car haulers ??. And for those who have experience in both, will I make more money hauling cars than dry van freight ?? I'm in Virginia if that helps.
Insurance .... Help

Our loss experience indeed shows car carriers as a "difficult" class of business, but it doesn't preclude us from quoting the class, including new ventures, just have a healthy checkbook available.
Have your retail insurance broker make contact with National Indemnity or Berkshire Hathaway producers.....both carriers can and will offer terms.Tuckster Thanks this. -
Great .... thank you .... My fixed costs will be important as the truck will be sitting more than most. I would like to average around 15 days/month at the most. That will make it tough to make much but I really need to get back out there.... and I need to net around $ 30,000/year.

You have shipping and receiving issues- it's just wrapped into a different package. Trust me.
Tropsnart, Doealex, Tuckster and 1 other person Thank this. -
Get a flatbed an run lumber from Al,Ga and Miss to Virginia and get something back south. You’ll do 30000 easily and the shipper and receiver won’t be looking to make money off of you when they find a surface scratch but act like it’s a totaled unit.
