You should have had all the insurance questions answered and plan set up in place ready to go prior to buying equipment.
Besides that what's the plan to attract qualified car haulers to your new company and be able to pay them well enough all as a new business in a crappy economy?
Better be a solid plan while you got equipment sitting and moon insurance rates.
Why not have started off with one truck and seeing if that can be successful prior buying a second truck?
Canceling the equipment sales and giving up this trucking company idea is the best business plan right now.
Got new trucks but no insurance and no cdl driver

Progressive is one of the only companies taking on new authorities, the only one I know of at all in fact. I wouldn't expect that quote to get any cheaper until you've been in business for a year or two.

I am doubting we will hear from the OP again.
Go to the DMV and ask for temp plates and use regular insurance, until those trucks are in service, there is a need for just insurance to get it off the lot and into your hands, if the dealer pulls this crap about commercial insurance, tell them you want all the money back and file with the state licensing group in the state that they operate at, it isn't their call.
That crap about starting a business doesn't matter here. You don't seem to understand how to do it in this industry and it is one thing that you have to be hands on with everything and plan carefully, especially with low rate/high volume freight.
AND IF the OP is serious, he will take all the advice of dumping the trucks seriously, then if you really want to make a go at this regroup with proper research, proper funding and proper driver recruiting.LoneRanger, Just passing by, Kozakvod and 2 others Thank this. -
If he financed them through the dealers finance company, they can/will require insurance before you can take them off the lot.
If bought tax exempt then he would need at the least that states commercial liability limit.Jubal Early Times, ducnut and JoeTruck Thank this. -
But it is a moot point, the OP isn't equipped for this with what he has done so far and just needs to tell the dealer to take the trucks back.JoeyJunk and Kenworth6969 Thank this.
