    Ended up fabricating my own for a couple hundred bucks . They seem to work perfect. But i guess we will really find out how well they work when i get loaded

    OOIDA is a risk retention. There are a few brokers who won’t work with you if you have them. Or this used to be the case. I don’t know if it’s changed or not.

    I don’t know who you have coverage with, but I’ve been at close to 24,000 for a couple years now. But I have a lot of coverage.

    Mine i let go down some.
    1 million liability, 50k cargo(most hopper loads are only 25k or less) 50k truck insurance (only gave 31k for the one running) and the two trailers are $39k and 55k so ones like 3500/year other 4000/year truck is now 16.5k/year were it was 10k so i guess they’ve upped value of it to like 75k+ though truck averages don’t work for me, as i’m not buying one of those 500k milers for 100k+

    No surgery is something to look forward to; but in your case, look at it as another rung on the ladder to getting well. You have climbed a long way, and we all look forward to this being a huge success. My credentials, (4 heart bypass and 1 stroke) pulling for you....

    Most lines of insurance are like musical chairs. All move around over a few policy periods. You start new with best available. 3rd year increases start,.
    By fifth you are looking to change, find a better deal and jump. Ride with him for 3 or 4 and an increase. Looking again.
    But... The originator of the cycle has procured him a replacement (at a "starter" rate and building him up.) So as the say: The Beat Goes ON.."
    Of course, the Chinese devised it, so gotta be profitable...

    These perfectionist's ... A strip of 3" duct tape from below the snap top fastener, around the bottom and up across the belt holder just overlapping the bend of the top flap. Then a thinner strip across this modification from lower belt loop fastener tdown to encircle. Natural finish gray tape looks as if it might meld in nicely.
