    Trucking has always been a feast or famine business.In 45 years of trucking,there,were times when I questioned my sanity of owning a truck,and there were times when I wish I had twenty. With the upswing now,I almost want to come out of retirement,and buy another truck...........almost.. Nah.

    Forget about the big box brands ins companies . There are so many that I could recommend to you but , it's best you just Google a few . Just make sure that ins certs are free , and also be careful what value you put on your unit for collision purposes . They will only give you book value for your unit anyway .

    Google coastal trucking insurance. Ask 4 Simon. Don’t have number handy right now. But they will give u a really fair deal. Underwrote via Hartford. Your age is what the biggest problem is I’m assuming.
