Guys chime in here. Give me names to some good rated insurance companies that have good reasonable rates. My best friend has a 6 truck fleet and is paying $1,810.88 a month with OOIDA per truck. He's getting murdered. Here's the facts: Bad FMCSA rating due to a log audit by DOT (The DOT came to his house and the whole 9 yards) . No fleet accidents or fatalities or anything like that. Basically 2 out of services due to log infractions and a failed DOT audit. Has had his own authority for 6-7 years. Lets get this guy a better premium for truck, trailer and cargo combined. The works...

I would think he would be researching insurance companies full time.
How was his insurance before? Did it double or something because of his audit?
It could be that he is deemed high risk, I wouldn't think that would do it, but it might, and if that is the case he may well be screwed for a year or two.
It may pay him to start asking for some inspections for a while to get his average up with some clean ones. -
I lived there in the mid 80’s. Drove for Independent Pipe & Supply out of Canton. Was and likely still is a union shop..Teamsters local 379.

Get some clean inspections and the ratings will go up, it works on a percentage game, in other if he has only been inspected twice and got an oos on each one he is batting 100, one clean one will up it a third, two a half and so on.
People don't understand how some megas like swift can have as many wrecks as they do, but there percentages are better than most companies.
