My dad is giving me his old truck and said if I don’t want to go to school that I should start driving with him. I’m only going to be hauling garbage waste 380 miles daily, same route everyday .I’m 19 years old and have no experience I got offered 18,000 a year for insurance, do you think that’s the cheapest offer I’ll get or should I keep looking?

Insurance is all dependent on where you are and your experience.
I have had my license since CDL began and my insurance would be $15,000 a year.
One agent told me she just signed someone for $26,000 a year.
$18,000 a year is a crazy amount of money to spend on insurance, but it's not that far out for your age Etc. But it is a colossal amount of money, at least to me..Epal420 Thanks this. -
P.S. Be smart. Finish school or get a career and if all fails, I would do trucking for a last resort. -
Why stay in school to be LEO when that pays barely livable wages and his dad is giving him a truck and he will be running his own business?
I hate that some people view trucking as a last resort job. It can be a profession like any other profession if you apply your self.
I've worked in legal fields when I was younger and I've had a successful business overseas.
When I came back here, I started trucking and now I am an owner operator and I make a lot of money.
But when I have to meet my daughter's friends parents and they ask what I do, they cringe when I tell them I drive a truck.
There's nothing low about driving a truck. I could easily go and work in an office but why? I like driving and I like being in charge of my life.
Owning his own truck is this kids ticket to not being a company slave.Big Road Chris, NightWind, DSK333 and 4 others Thank this. -

Can you’re dad get insurance under his name and you just drive.
jamespmack Thanks this. -
Looking back I wish I had started driving then. But having a father that was a owner/op it made me not want too. Well 15 years working for other people, it clicked. I was really good at making other people money. Why not do it for myself. Look 18k is a lot but without a truck payment you can make it. I might be tough at first but it will get better.
