    What a joke. To fill everyone in, they wanted to pay $1000 to put a bandaid on it.

    I opened a claim with Great West. My mistake I didn't do it right away.

    Yep you seem to be a little hard headed when it comes to listening to some of the people here. I am not being an ### about that either but this is why you should at least entertain what people say on here and make a call. You wasted all this time when all the signs of them was gonna be to push you off. Sorry that things are going so ####ty for you on this as well. I hate seeing companies just screw us Owner Operators over every chance they can.

    Yep. I was naive. With any type of insurance or even places you deliver often, you can't trust nobody. I admit being naive here. My mistake. Live and learn. A lesson for me since I never had to do it being an owner operator.
    I love to have a clean record. But I can't continue to pay out of pocket each time. I did that last year. And some of the other damage nobody admitted fault to I have to cover myself. I'm not letting this one get away though. They got on my nerves how they played with me.

    I am glad you are finally sticking up for yourself on these issues. We need more people to do that and not let these clowns take advantage of everyone.

    There are no winners here. I might be a fool by opening a claim with my own insurance.
    People might retaliate against me. And they might be doing it already. The broker who worked with me dropped me. She became silent. They might even write a false review.
    The thing is we have no way to know and check for facts. And nobody likes to see an O/O standing up for himself. They might say you're difficult, etc.

    The point is there are no winners.

    Better to learn on a smaller issue than on a large issue. Be better off moving along and not working with people like that. Lots of good shippers and brokers just like the bad. Just need to weed them out as you go.

    It would be easy to do during good times. Harder now...
