Looking at starting my own Authority. about how much would this cost me to run my own Authority and keep up with it? I'm finding insurance prices to be really high almost 8-10k JUST for truck insurance. Whats the best company to use for insurance?

Anywhere from 12k to 60k, depends on who you are, what you are, where you located, equipment, coverages, e.t.c

My folks just got there own authority a few months ago. Right now it’s 18k through progressive hauling a 7 car trailer, they require some extra coverage to haul cars. Doesn’t matter that my dad has almost 50 years experience. Another guy is paying $41k, he’s 27 years old and about to start hauling cars. That’s insane.

I can tell you that progressive will jack the rate up when you go to put the policy in effect. Quoted me 9.5k actual price was 14.5k

Just for Truck Ins. ? Surely the quote included 1 mil public Liability, main cost, 100 k cargo not much. Add collision, fire , theft. I’m currently at $8300 per yr. $1000 deductible on each vehicle 1 Old Truck 1 old TrI. $1000 fed on cargo.Going on 15 yrs now.Started at around $6000 yr back then as I remember. New Authorities are getting hit as much as double the rate for first few yrs. from what I’ve heard. Keep looking , try Northwest, so far so good.

May 2018 to May 2019 was my first year on my own. Georgia which is extremely high anyway, 93 W9, 2013 hopper, 2015 step deck, 1 million coverage, 50,000 cargo, unlimited mileage, and exempt only, the premium was $17,000. This year with full authority the premium is $14,000. If I pay the premium in full it will be $12,000. I paid it on Friday. These numbers include full coverage. Fire, collision, theft, etc.
