    afternoon I have a dui and I have my cdl A, I have not been convicted yet but I am opening my hotshot company to be able to drive when my cdl A is suspended, and I obtain a preventive license and then class e and in a year my cdl. How expensive would the insurance be, about $2,000 a month? on average

    Enough to put a big dent in the beer budget :)

    Glad you have the dui backup plan..

    Depends on what state, but I'd reckon at least $4k or $5k a month, with 15%-25% down "if" you can even find someone willing to write a policy..

    A stand up gent, @24kHotshot 1st year in business based in south fla was $36k per year with a clean driving record.. good luck

    And, if you can find customers willing to put their freight on a trailer with a drinker behind the steering wheel.

    I wouldn't do a darn thing until you talk to Progressive and see if they will even write you a policy. They might tell ya it's a no-go for a couple of years unless you're planning on hiring somebody else to do the driving. You might be dead in the water for awhile on any driving for a living, or they might make it so expensive that it wont make any sense to even bother with. Sucks but this is a costly mistake I bet you wont make again.

    He does.
    My understanding is that is where he is originally from.

    Started his 1st year out of Miami, then moved backed to NY. Cheaper insurance somehow being domiciled in NY, +1yr in business clean probably helped to lower the insurance rate as well..
