    A couple of years ago Progressive insured some new hotshot companies and got burned. Then they had some outrages quotes. Forget Progressive and find a company that does truck insurance instead. Yes insurance cost will be high as any new entrant. But not $ 50,000 , not dissing you Skateboard, people put all kind of stuff out there.

    I see the thread they mentioned Berkshire Hathaway but new carrier's will not qualify. I have that but been running my own numbers 10 years. One man operation. No tickets, no OOS stay in small radius. Truck paid off. Down payment $ 1057.00 and nine payments of $ 355.78 so I am at the other end of the spectrum.

    Progressive was lower than that, however I won't do business with them. I have friends that have Progressive and theirs is a little lower than mine. I can send you their name. I am under 26,000 I run my home state and surrounding states home most nights. Low risk for insurance company.
