    I’d like to see the list of brokers who won’t work with progressive?
    I’ve yet to have anyone say a word about them. Especially if you have the 100k and 1 mil.

    If you care to see Google ....Livestocknetwork.com... since your propably not member you can't see all the details for loads on the load board so you will have to take me at my word ...But click on the jobs part of it and you will see most of the brokers looking for O/O's for a lease. will state right in their add .. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PROGRESS INSURANCE... some of those brokers are the same 1s posting loads on their load board

    You should've included in your original post this was about livestock brokers. I've never seen this on DAT or Truckstop.

    No idea but if a lot of regular brokers didn’t take progressive they would not move much freight at least with some newer authorities.

    Probably because MOST trucking insurance companies only offer Specified Perils for livestock, not the Broad Form coverage available for most other commodities

    Had Progressive for 3 yrs and never had a issue. Only reason I dropped them was a cheaper rate .

    Well I got the answer as why Progressive is not welcomed with livestock brokers....
    If I was to have a accident with a load on my trailer and say 10 animals were kilt but there were 15 more injured and maybe 7 more died 3 days later... Progressive will only pay on the 10 dead at the accident site and they don't pay on injured livestock either
