    Very greatly 1st year with own numbers. Anywhere from 8k to 20k and then some 4 some guys. Your years of having a cdl help. Then next depends on your mvr. But still will be high first year. Then go down the next couple of years about 10% each if no claims or changes. Best I can help ya

    If your going to lease to a Carrier see if thy will insure your truck. I pay about 1 dollar per 1000 of truck value per week through my carrier.

    Your best bet is to pick up the phone and call around for quotes.
