Help me find insurance company for new DOT/MC

That you are a specialized hauler should have been in the OP not halfway through the entire post. So sorry for handing out useless info all the while trying to help.....without all of the facts of your specific situation. Good luck to you.

 

Progressive....
Although they will not sign insurance for a new authority, they still gave me a quote.
$ 8931.96 a year with 20% down = $1825.46. And $794.60 monthly. Or pay 100% up front for $7601.58 which saves about $1300.
But, he also stated if he wrote it up once my #'s came through the system I would be cancelled because of the new system they have.
Sad since I have 0 accidents in 30 yrs, 0 tickets or violations in 8+ yrs and great credit score. Others have quoted with price around $12,000 yearly.
First Guard told me they only insure lease operators.

Started driving in 1987 with a 1973 K100 so it's not like I have never been in a truck lol.

 

I been trying to get quotes for new entrant insurance since the new year. progressive has been a no 2 times. I got a quote from acuity for really high and i finally got a quote from northland for almost 13k after a week of waiting. lol. It has been frustrating to say the least. I have called agent that say oh yea we can get you covered then 2-3 days later come back with oh sorry we cant. lol. Is there any other good a rated places to call. I'm in Ky.

 

TBS was the cheapest I got.
And there was an almost $5K difference between them & the high number.

You can make a lot of phone calls for $5K.

 

Is it even harder to get insured when everything is new, meaning;
New LLC
New authority ?

 

Anybody had any luck? All I have gotten so far is Berkshire Hathaway needs 6 months experience and I don't have that yet and Progressive is not writing right now. One agent told me they will start back writing March 29 but I haven't heard that from anybody else. I'm in SC

I have no experience with them tho....

 

Not sure where you live but I have been working with Thomas Wilson Group and they have found some very reasonable rates as a new entrant. Between 14-15k for everything. I have been researching this same thing. No matter where you shop it's really high for new guys.

 

In my research I have run across brokers who refuse to load you if you have Progressive or OOIDA insurance. Not sure how prevalent that is but it's out there.

 

I got a quote for 18k from Berkshire Hathaway, 1 million liability & 100k cargo, includes personal injury & physical damage. Also new DOT
