    That’s the lowest rate I’ve heard of in years. Lower than 16 yrs ago, when I started out. What insurance co. are you with, if you don’t mind. My .02 is the same, might want to wait a couple months anyway. But if you’re determined, an argument can be made, now is the time to get things set up, not losing or missing much now. Then be set to go. Sounds like you understand the risks. Like you, I finally had enough, threw doubts, fear and Logic to the wind. Paid dearly for my lack of preparedness, but still no regrets. Beats anything I had going in the past. Even at its worse. But the absolute worse may be yet to come. We’ll soon know. And what kind of paint you got on those stacks? I need some of that.

    On the other hand, has anyone ever heard anybody here saying anything about good times at all?
    As if good times never existed and nobody ever wanted anybody new to join the club. LOL
    Objectively though, I am just saying that there were better times than these to go independent and live off load-board freight.

    That’s a great price, and the best company to be with, if ever a claim. So I’ve been told by a Collosion Shop, years ago, When I had Ooida and had delays collecting.
