Thanks for the info, I greatly appreciate all the advice and help from everyone here!
You bring up many good points, some I haven't thought of. Perhaps it would be better to run with a small company for a few months to gain at least...
Yes I did, meant to post an update yesterday... The agent pulled up my quote I had saved and confirmed everything was correct, the quote had gone...
I’m getting those rates off DAT. Were you running flatbed? The rates I’m seeing for vans are not all that great. I’ve talked to a few friends...
Definitely, flatbed rates are $4-6 a mile around here... I would assume after a year or so insurance rates will drop down a good amount. I've ran...
Changed the quote to be based on a 2003 KW valued at $30k and the quote went down to $31k. Still bizarre that we're seeing such different...
Just changed it to 200 miles and it dropped down to $33k [ATTACH] I still need cargo insurance but I doubt that will add more than another $1k...
Oops, could have sworn I checked that. Went back and changed it - raised the quote by $35
Here's how I have it set. Where it asks if I have insurance already I thought it meant commercial insurance, when I enter in that I do, it...
Is that with 300 miles operating radius? They are probably assuming with 500+ that I’m interstate instead of intrastate... maybe?
Still weird, that’s about what I valued it at too. Can’t imagine the quote would change that much for 500+ miles vs under 300 but maybe. Can...
No, I entered in my USDOT number, and answered the questions that followed. A USDOT # is required here in Washington. Weird that we’re getting...
All that is correct except I have it set to 300 miles and I have a trailer. Plus my deductible is 5k. Even with a lower deductible its only...
Yeah I missed cargo insurance, it says you have to call to add cargo insurance. I'll call tomorrow. Hopefully that will be reasonable
Woah. What stats did you use though? I raised my deductible and it lowered it a touch. Yeah, it's at 1 million [ATTACH]
Yeah I’ll talk to an agent tomorrow, I have excellent credit as my parents who also have great credit added me as an authorized user on their CC a...
Well I just went onto progressive and got a quote. I was guessing 40k. No too far off. This is with telling them I'm not going more than 300...
I'm planning on buying a used flatbed, van rates around here are nothing special but flatbed sits around $4-6 a mile on any given day for runs...
Thank you! I will be calling progressive tomorrow to see what I can find out.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I love this forum, have came here to my answer questions for years. Finally created myself an account... I...
