I am in wv and am looking at hiring a driver. I was told today by an insurance person that in order to be legal I will need to have workers comp insurance in every state that the truck will be traveling.
Is this how it is? I was told that the cost for workers comp starts at 1500 a year and goes up from there. Well 1500 a year x 48 states = a heck of alot of money. About 72000 at the cheapest. How is this possible?
It makes no sense what so ever to me so I am asking and hoping someone here knows how it is.
Thanks

but if one realy thinks about it ,the insurance company is as bad as the goverment! you have to have ,worker comp,you have to have homeowners,and in some states flood and wind,the in order to have a vehical auto insurance............but in the big picture,one auto accident,one hurricane,one flood or exsessive rainy day alll those premeuims pay for them selves,,unless you live in florida and after one huricain ,they drop your policy to get higher rates
after the last batch of hurricains a few years ago we decided to change the state flag to a blue tarp with a generator on it,,in hopes fema would come to the rescue
