Insurance for 6 month cdl in NY.

Contact OOIDA; they have a website with phone numbers.

 

There is a reason for all this. You need experience and learn the business before jumping wildly in it. There I just saved you at least $20,000.

 

So you bought a truck and tried starting a business w/6 months experience without first researching all that's needed?


This folks is why freight rates are what they are.These are the people pulling $1 a mile freight because they didn't do the research before jumping in head first.The only concession is they won't be in business long.

 

Lease on to a major carrier for another 6 mos to a year and then go get your own authority

 

Progressive is the only insurance company that I know of who will insure someone with little or no experience. Progressive has been test marketing to expand their coverage area to unlimited or 48 states. I don't think it is yet available all over the country. If you want to get your authority now, you may need to live with the 500 mile radius until you gain more experience. Your other option is to way 6-18 months until you can go with a different insurance company. You can stay in the northeast and stay within the 500 mile radius, but it may be challenging.
