    Hello folks. I finally bought my first truck and am chomping at the bit. I started to shop around for insurance. The only company that has really shown any interest in doing their job is Progressive. Everyone else seems to be on vacation. I didn't go with just the minimums because I want to have more hauling options from the get-go. So this is what I got quoted on:

    Primary Liability--- $1,000,000
    Physical Damage--- $25,000 (Truck is paid for)
    Uninsured Motorists--- $25,000
    Cargo--- $200,000
    General Liability--- $1,000,000 ($2,000,000 aggregate)

    I opted for $2500 deductible on everything.

    Down Payment: $2422.49
    10 Payments: $1216.96
    Total Yearly Premium: $14,592.09
    If Paid in Full: $12,373

    They also offered me about an 8% discount if I let my ELD provider send them data.

    What do you guys think? Should I pull the trigger or can I do better with some of the others like OOIDA, Great West or TrueNorth?

    Ha. Your quote is so much better than mine its not even remotely funny. That's what I get for getting loose with my driving record thinking i was on the verge of walking away from the industry..

    That is as fair of a quote as you're likely to find.

    Considering I will have a new authority, I don't see myself complaining. I have read the horror stories...

    Looks good man. Doubt you find anything cheaper and honestly they are not that bad too deal with.

    If you don't mind, who was the agent that helped with that quote? I'm in a similar situation and would love to get some help from someone that is knowledgeable about insurance, thanks.

    I would definitely Ask the question.
    Progressive is notorious for their 100 mile and 500 mile radius quotes.
