    Back in the day JBHunt would fire you for driving on 70 west of Denver, any time of the year. Guys were just frying the trucks.

    If it's just windy on Elk then I take US30 through Medicine Bow. But I run US26 ALOT in the winter to avoid closures and poor conditions on I-80.

    Well.
    Money sent and received, kw paid for...
    Progressive lady was a #####.. capital ####.

    After 2 hours, she still couldn’t figure out what I wanted was bobtail insurance to get truck home.
    She didn’t know about that, so I tried nontrucking liability.
    “Can’t add, you have a commercial policy here.”
    So put the thing on the commercial account and label it non trucking.
    “Sir, calm down, I am doing everything I can to help.
    That’ll raise your premium 18k.”
    Me
    “So, you’re telling me, it’s going to cost 18k to bobtail a tractor 175 miles.”
    ####“If you bobtail insure, yes.”
    Me “I can have the pos towed here for $750, you’re not doing something right.”
    #### “I’ve been in trucking insurance industry for 5 years.”
    Me “I don’t care if you were born with a laptop, a pen, and a calculator all at arms reach, your wrong.”

    So.
    I gotta go get me a soda, I’ve dealt with one idiot to much on a Saturday morning.

    Call OOIDA on Monday. They'll give you a few names of people that will write you a 30 day policy for $400 to $500.

    Yeah,
    That lady started in on me on that too, if you go that route, we’ll cancel your insurance.
    So she’s threatened me with taking $14k from them.
    Monday, after I go get this truck, I may just take off next week and do some insurance shopping here locally, I know a guy who now does truck insurance 35 miles from here.
    As my grandfather used to say, “You don’t have to look far for someone to take your money.”

    She's full of crap. How would she know? Besides, maybe you're overly cautious and want multiple policies.
