Insurance for an 18 year old

First get you a quote from Progressive. They most likely are the only one that will give you insurance. My cost with no experience and 42 years old was like 24K if I remember right. If you can pay insurance for the full year you can get a good discount.

Second I would really consider hard on what you want to run trailer wise and then figure out what kind of truck you want to run. If going used make sure to do your homework on the truck. This will break you very fast as a rebuild will cost you 20-30k and very well could need done the first month or 12 months with a used truck. Make sure to keep at least 30K after you buy truck and trailer just incase you need to rebuild motor or replace a transmission.

Being young has its advantages and can make a lot of money if you learn fast. Good Luck! Ask lots of questions before you pull the trigger. no question is dumb.....

 

Trailers!!!! We didn’t even touch that subject. Thats a huge deal now as well.

 

Trained my boy and works for the carrier I run for. He has almost spotless mvr. Got cited once for unsecured load in a pickup truck. Non moving violation. The carrier we work for is charged 20,000$ per year to insure him. Progressive.

 

i wouldve started driving truck at 12 years old if i could

 

Congratulations on your accomplishments. Insurance is high for an experienced driver starting their own authority. Being 18 with no experience, if someone will insure you it will be astronomical! But all it takes to get an insurance quote is to make a phone call.

 

I'm guessing that a Progressive agent could tell you. Also, you might get a lower quote by talking to someone depending on your experience, especially if you have a credit rating from your business. This is just a guess since a lot of insurance rates seem to rely on credit scores.
