I've been quoted from Progressive in FL, MD and PA over the past 1.5 years. The only thing they've changed around was the payment terms. Most of the time they wanted a deposit and the rest paid monthly. The last time though, they tried to make me pay half up front with the second half due in 30 days. I used a better agent and got it back to a monthly payment plan as well as a slightly lower yearly premium.

The frustration I have is seeing an increase in failures in the past 12 months. YOU may not see it, but it is there and it seems that when rates go up, credit is easy to get, there are more failures because a lack of business or industry knowledge.
I get what you say but others may not get who is responsible and who isn't or what to watch out for and what not to.
Just look at some of the naive questions coming from people who have been doing this for 2, 3 or 5 years, they don't even understand what an authority is or who is responsible for what.
If people don't want the advice, then they don't need to read it. If it works for you and it goes against what I say, that's alright but those who don't know or are confused, maybe they should read everything and ask questions.djohnson6425 Thanks this. -

Maybe OOIDA is thinking that old authority constitutes safer drivers/better equipment? Its the same merry-go-round with trying to broker loads with new authority as an independent. Example; Swift has old authority, their driver 6 months experience. You-new authority, your experience OTR is 30 years. Guess who gets the load?
