    I am so sick of all of it. You can't even temporarily escape this industry. I am parked. But you have to have stinking minimum insurance unless you want to voluntarily suspend your MC and you have to be in a stinking consortium if your MC is active. I hate it.

    So now I have to pay $145 for CMCI and $1550 (no cargo, 50 mile radius, 1 million liability...can't go 750k liability because I added gas/oil for pulling boats which I never even got around to!) for insurance just to remain active but not run.

    Oh and parking!

    I tell you what man when I get out of this all together I will never ever look back.

    Can't you just cancel the gas/oil and go down to 750k and get a refund? When you decide to go back out otr and IF you haul something that needs it you can just call your insurance and change it back.
     
    Vampire and Mattflat362 Thank this.

    I am on FMCSA now trying to remember how to change it....LOL.

    Insurance guy doesn't do it. We (the carrier) makes the change and notifies the insurance guy.

    Huh, my auditing officer a few years ago told me that you've got to have your insurance send a form over to have it changed. If you figure it out let us know how you get it done.
     
    Vampire Thanks this.

    I had to leave but I am back at it in a minute. If I remember correctly we the carrier makes the change the insurance guy confirms we have upped our insurance then the FMCSA approves it.
     
    Vampire Thanks this.

    Why not ? Twenty one years I was an O/O and enrolled with a drug consortium who contacted me when my number was picked. Never an issue. A satisfied customer now retired living the good life.
