    Why so much? High coverages?

    Seems like a decent deal considering the situation. Glad you found someone one.

    This is my take as well. He isn't the one that has full control of the situation like the others. He looks for information to be given to him instead of knowing the issues that he needs to look into.

    Well first off I’m from Florida so high premiums are the norm.

    When I first started out it was $20k but shortly after I had a new truck and factory fresh trailer stolen. Progressive paid out something like $225,000 on the loss..then hit a mule deer the size of a horse in SD..got struck by lightning in WA. Needless to say they needed to charge me a little extra for coverage :)

    Next year my loss runs should be clean if I don’t get in any trouble this year. Maybe next time I’ll drop more?
