    CD, check with some smaller ag type banks. Ours isn't a really fancy bank that deals mostly with farmers and small businesses, and he's really flexible with us. We walked in with a solid business plan, and a list of all of our assets and their value, and walked out with the loan.

    Stay away from the national chain banks, they won't touch a loan for a truck.

    Yeah, for what you are insuring that is crazy. But if you are limited to what you can haul because companies won't take your insurance then you are limiting yourself. I could not imagine having to pass up all the Landstar loads I haul because I was with OOIDA. And one of my better paying direct accounts won't take them.

    I am glad I shopped because I assumed that OOIDA would be the best available. But what I know now I would pay a little extra to have a top rated insurance company. Fortunatly this is not one of the expensive lessons that I learned.

    I am gonna check with my fiancees credit union when I get back in town. Gonna try and find some smaller banks out in the sticks. Hard to find small banks when ya live 30 miles south of Chicago. But I am confident where there's a will there's a way.... I hope. As far as the insurance yeah I won't be hauling any Landstar loads. They still are fighting. But from what I have been told I am just gonna have to deal with it for a year or so. Cause most of these insurance companies wanna mess with you because your just starting out. Oh well.
