    Can anyone recommend a good insurance company in Alberta for truck insurance. All I need right now is coverage to be able to drive it around, I don't need full commercial insurance right now. Are there any companies out there that will insure it as a private vehicle, as in, pulling an RV?

    Just go see any insurance broker n they can get ya hooked up with privare insurance. There are way to many variables for anyone to recommend a specific ins. company.

    NO... any insurance broker will not just give private insurance on a semi. There are only a couple variables and there ARE specific insurance companies that deal with heavy trucks.

    Trust me, I've already asked, why do you think I'm on here, trying to find which SPECIFIC insurance companies O/O's are using?

    You probably can't get commercial insurance unless you have your own authority or are leased to a carrier .
    Check RV forums and see where they get their insurance .

    Sorry to revive the dead. But I'm having a horrible time trying to find anyone to cover for RV. not4hire can you point me in the right direction. I'm in Alberta also and have tried pretty much every company around.

    Only insurer who will provide coverage is Northbridge Insurance (google it). Sorry I'm a broker but I'm not getting involved in another one of those. Premium is around $8,000 $12,000.
