Did your insurance go up this year?

My best variable was my availability last year everybody needed my truck. Last year was the easiest and most profitable. I never went on the load board brokers emailed everything I could do. This year back to the load boards however there is still a lot of opportunity out there.

 

Insurance gonna insurance

 

Just got my renewal notice…

$24k for next year from Berkshire. Fugggg I gotta go shopping

 

See about Canal…..maybe in a couple years. Also if you can cut down on radius usually starting out everyone does unlimited.

 

Tell them “Lite Bug” sent me?

 

You could, I found about them by accident. About 4 months before your agreement runs out sales people call wanting to give you a quote. One guy tells me I have been running awhile and haven’t had claims or tickets I could get a better quote with Canal. He says companies will give a better rate depending on these factors. Like in reverse if you have fender benders , speeding tickets, OOS etc. Now you have to have clean numbers for awhile I don’t know exactly that’s why don’t say “ Lite Bug “ sent me . Just saying these companies are out there . Personally my equipment is paid for and not high dollar. I stay in 500 mile radius. Regular cargo and liability like $4800 this year. Now Progressive quote was even lower but I won’t do business with them. I know everyone does not want to be limited to such a small radius, but I like sleeping at the house and not chasing the freight.

 

I like made a illegal turn in West Virginia in the mid 70’s and probably no record of it.
