What's best experience level for O/O insurance?

Where did you get it for that rate? Im gathering quotes myself.

 

Progressive, unfortunately. They’re the only ones who would take me. My cousin is a commercial agent for Payne West, so he handled everything. It would have been less, but I have one speeding ticket in a personal vehicle from three years ago that jacked the rate up a bit.

 

I agree with this. My first truck was a lemon and I failed miserably. A lot of people dont know this.

I wanted a pretty truck,.. Peterbilt and CAT were the best names in the business. How ever,.. a CAT C15 with DPF can make or break a new O/O and it broke me.

My second truck that I still own was ugly as sin. How ever it had an engine and drive train that were reliable as an old dog. Yes I've put considerable expense into that truck. But when I can go 10 - 12 months with only minor maintenance, PM's etc,.. its worth the peace of mind to me and I will continue putting money into that truck until it can no longer serve my needs.

So bare in mind when searching for a used truck to buy. No one sells a perfectly good money making truck. If a truck is profitable it makes no business sense to sell it.

I talked with a progressive agent, claimed they cant write trucking policies in MS. Which is bs, the carrier Im currently leased to has progressive from the same town Im from. $12,000 per year isnt bad from what Im hearing so far. I hope to have some more quotes in this week.
