    I searched all over the threads and couldnt find any thing so ill start here.

    Owner Operators who do you recommend for Bobtail,Non Trucking Liability,or Less than truckload Insurance?
    I spoke with Progressive,Ooida and Gulf South Insurance Company also one other Company told me they couldnt give me a quote until im actually leased on,i told them im in the process of redoing things with my company,they still didnt want to work with me,So it seems like Progressive it is going to be,

    Im not talking about full authority insurance, Only Bobtail when your not under a load,
    the only reason why i wanna leave Progressive is they went up on my rate and cant give me a clear answer on why,they ran my numbers everything came back good,but they cant explain why?and that is whats grinding my gears.

    So who are yall with?
    Who covers you and how much a month or year do you pay?
    And feel free to PM me with numbers or post here to help me out thanks.

    OOIDA did underwrite my bobtail and physical damage in 2011 when I was heading home from IA to IL after purchase.

    They used my corporation name (that was on title, I paid cash), don't recall they ever asked for future carrier name.

    That's good to know. Did you call a local office or go through the main 800 number?
