Insurance renewal blues...

couple weeks ago. was only paying that.. Only 100k cargo with hoppers, most stuff only costs 10-15k for product. But require 100k. Mack insured 50k international 20k (spare) 1 hopper insured 84k one 54k (price difference between a 22 and 24 model) one Dryvan 20k and the old roadway 07 is only 10k). It only hauled 3-4 loads last year.
if I add a driver it jumps up 4,000/year.

 

Interesting. I was paying about 20,000 CAD (14,500 USD) for my 2012 Volvo and roll tite valued at 100k combined, with 2 mil liability, 250k cargo, and w mil commercial general liability.

Currently paying about 25k CAD (18k USD) a year for my same policy, but with a 300k combined value on my newer 389 and same wagon

 

Someone in this thread reminds me of 1xHeavy. They keep rambling for nothing.

 

I know, look, I just want to apologize to LongFLD, I'm really on your side, I was told to stay off the O/O forum, because of my views, but being an O/O at one time, I'm truly concerned about O/Os today, even though it may not sound like it. It's like trying not to look at a welder. To be clear, while my O/O days weren't my most profitable years, it was without a doubt the zenith of my career, and I applaud anyone that even does that today. When I was an O/O, it was the most ludicrous of decisions, I gave up a good by the hour local job, locals thought I was nuts, and I guess I was, but it was something I always wanted to do, and there was so much to do with de-regulation, trucks were a dime a dozen, regulations were few, it was a mighty attractive, easy way of making a buck. That's not the case today, I wouldn't make it out of the yard, it takes a lot more today, and I can understand the good old pride it takes, reminds me a bit of a younger me.
I don't recall who 1xHeavy was, I remember some controversy, perhaps spoke a little too loud,,,like me, but us old timers can have a bit of a gripe, to us trucking was a gas, a joke almost, not some entity you need a law degree to do for cryin' out loud, but that's the way it is. Thanks, hope you all understand the ramblings of an old O/O, it will happen to you, if lucky. If any doubt, see avatar,,.

 

And then you point it out and it goes right over their head........
