    First time I have heard that 2006 rule. About 6 months ago I was told by an insurance company that they didn't insure trucks over 15 yrs old unless you had an established authority and a clean record.

    One thing @EMCO_Trans hasnt mentioned is how long the drivers he took on have had their CDL's. That makes a huge difference in today's market. Insurance companies are getting hammered with claims on all the new entrants/new CDL holders

    i probably don't have any useful advice for you but first year of insurance is the worst, might slow down a bit and give it some time. also a tow away and a driver log violation in your first 4 months is not helping. after i made it threw my first year with no tickets claims ect i was able to get into much better insurance rates and company.

    I looked into it but never did anything about it. I am just glad I survived this whole situation with my own company.
