    If there's any possible reason to increase premium, well... it doesn't matter since they'll increase it anyway.

    Two non-preventables put about (guessing) $30k on my loss run. It sucks. Last renewal was 25% higher due to that supposedly.

    On the other hand, with one of those involving a fatality, it could have been a lot worse. The longer I do this, the less I get surprised about fantastic numbers.

    I'm around $12K annual give or take. I made some adjustments to the coverage early on, so the monthly payment won't exactly equal the annual premium when multiplied by 12. My agent tells me it's the best they've seen for a new entrant this year.

    $4200 per month per truck?? That’s super high, I pay a 1/4 of that monthly. I’ve only been in business since 2014.

    Oh shoot i forgot you're new entrant. That's not a bad quote at all. Down the road I would deff give Hawk a call.

    Stupid me got a 84 in a 65 over 2 years ago (learned my lesson) and she was able to get me on the policy for cheaper than my dad thought
