Got new trucks but no insurance and no cdl driver

Hello everyone, I appreciate any help here in advance.
I have a brand new active MC number for my new company. Purchased 2 trucks F600 and trailers. The first driver that we were hiring got denied by the background check company and Im still not sure what happened there. Now the new trucks parked at the dealership. The dealer won’t let me move them to our company without insurance and a CDL driver (I don’t drive).

I tried to get insurance today, I was quoted $33k a year. $1M, $250 cargo for one truck 5 car hauler.
Now, I have one option in front of me since I don’t have any experience in this, my only option is to pay about $5k insurance for the first month and tow the trucks to our lot then restart our search for a new driver which may take longer and cost more insurance, truck payments, rent and other expenses while the trucks parked for unknown period of time.

Is there any other cheaper options?

 

Yes. I was informed about this just minutes before we were making the trucks purchase.

 

Looks like Im not the only one struggling here lol.

 

Yes, they are brand new trucks. The dealer said no one can drive them out passed the gate without “commercial Insurance”. And they don’t sell or provide temp insurance.

Yes, Iol … I purchased 2 trucks and trailers. I want to start the bussiness, have no time to waste because I don’t really like popcorn .

 

I appreciate your concern. I had started businesses for other companies (none trucking) as a manager and I was always successful. I hope this time I help myself instead of working for others.

Yes, I got a quote from them for $33k a year, no driver needed. They put it under the company.
