    21 years old, clean mvr have had my cdl for almost 1 year and multiple years of experience. 1st quote through progressive was 18k a year on the semi that I just bought. Anybody know of other companys that will insure start ups that would be obviously cheaper?

    That's about as good as it is going to get. It's only two companies that are doing new start ups Progressive and Berkshire.

    thats a qoute for some guys that are older than you and have experience. No you wont get anything cheaper.
    Maybe the guy that gave you a qoute didnt give the coverage you need or he missed something.
    What kind of coverage did they qoute you for being as young as you are no background.
     
    ibcalm19 Thanks this.

    LOL.
    Iirc I was 27 when I bought my first semi, I don't remember how many insurance companies told me I was too young, even at 27.
