Good insurance for new authority?

Try great west. I use them, about 14k a year, 500k. In cargo insurance, most people run 100-250k in cargo. I needed more, that added about 2500 a year.

 

We are in the Midwest. We are brand new. We just got insurance through progressive and we didn’t have to give anything down. Our insurance is 1400 a month but maybe it’s where you are based out of.

 

Check OOIDA . The last I heard OOIDA and Progressive were the only two covering new authorities.

 

All the brokers I deal with will not give somebody a load if they have Progressive Insurance in fact most of them post.. "WE DO NOT ASPECT PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE " on their loads

 

What’s the reason for this? Just curious.

 

That's interesting. I've never seen that. But I haven't dealt with brokers for a year now so maybe it's something new.

 

I never asked them .. it must have something to do with Progressive not want'n to pay on claims... I need to mention in all fairness these are all livestock brokers that I'am referring too

 

National Indemnity Company....part of Berkshire Hathaway does new entrant DOT#s

Won't do new (less than 12 month) CDL drivers.

 

Progressive was the only one that would touch me when I started, went down $7300 after the first year for being a good boy, I’ll probably shop around for my next renewal
