    Hey guys hows it going. this is my first post on here. At the moment i just filed for my DBA and am now looking for insurance. the problem is the only company i've had give me a quote is progressive and they want the full payment up front. Anybody know of any companies that offer insurance to start ups? Besides progressive they all want at least 1 year or more in business. Thanks for the help

    I am in auto shipping

    That's probably a real competitive price right now, the only downside I guess you need to pay it all up front which is the first I've ever heard of. That will keep a lot of new guys out .
