Need Insurance Advice ASAP

Hi all,

I've had my trucks now for 4 or 5 years. I thought I had until next month but my insurance expired this month. I need to get insurance back on it ASAP. I can't afford downtime. The insurance agent I used to go to told me to find someone else to go through. I think it's because I dropped crop and car insurance with them. Regardless, I need insurance. I tried all sorts of web searches for Commercial insurance. I found websites that had insurance for like a business, not a truck. I knew it was a long shot but I also looked up truck insurance which meant pickup insurance. The only online site I was able to find that would give me a quote was Geico. They said that I'd get an email with a quote, or I could call a number to get it faster. Called the number and said they don't do commercial, but call back the next morning and they would transfer me to a company that does. Called the next morning and they told me that they couldn't insure me because I'm a private carrier/farm plated. What a crock! I got ahold of they guy here in town for a quote. While I was waiting for him to respond I tried other insurance companies from surrounding areas. They could give me a quote on my house or personal vehicles, but not a truck. So the guy locally finally got back with me. He said that his supervisor said that I'd be better off going through the same place I get the rest of my insurance. I don't have any insurance right now other than health, and told him I was looking to switch everything over. This is already more than a week later after I first got ahold of the guy locally. He did get me a quote asked for bank and routing etc. I sent him texts the last couple days, no reply. So I went to his office and he wasn't there. I wanted to leave a check with his business partner, He said not to leave a check and he would get ahold of me later. He told me that I would need a credit or debit card, but only for the first bill. I do not have a credit or debit card. I asked if I could go to the bank and get cash. He said no again.

Sorry for making this so long, but I was just wondering if any of you know an insurance company that can take a check over the phone. It would take too long to get a debit card. That and also I need an insurance company that will let me make payments. I can't afford the whole year in one go. I called a few o/o's here locally and every one of them went through the company I went through. The only suggestion I got was to go through a company in Columbus.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

 

Progressive is the company that the guy locally was going to sell me a policy. No debit/credit. I did actually talk to a Farmers agent in Fremont. I do own the trailer, but they told me they couldn't do commercial. Dunno maybe it's their office that doesn't sell it? Never heard of Mercury, but I will try them.
