    Where did u get them made at ? I always wanted to make one for tibbitt industries but never got around to it and plus I'm picky about how my hats fit, never could find a style I liked... been used to wearing new Era baseball hats ever since i was a kid..
    those Richardson brand ones seem pretty good tho, I bought one from missoula peterbilt when I was rolling thru there and I liked the fit on it

    So does anyone have a service or source for excess cargo insurance? Where real people answer the phone and complete a policy?

    Thinking to shop around for yearly policy this year.

    I have used these folks twice: Freight Insurance Fast
    I needed a million for one load, and can't remember the number for another, but is was over the $500K that we carry. They were very fast, but it seems as if it was mostly an online application/purchase. The price seemed reasonable at the time on a load by load basis, but then I had added that to my bid on the load and didn't have time to shop for the best rate.

    Might be worth checking them out - it's been a few years since I have done anything with them.

    I used the same folks Dave does. Actually he’s the one that turned me on to them. It’s all online and immediate. To go to 250 shouldn’t be much. Less than 200 bucks. I would go from 500 to 750 and a mil a couple times. I think it was like 185 to go to a million. I was doing it so often that it made more sense to just bump my cargo to 750

    This one's well worn. I had a guy in Salt Lake do mine. 16$ and change each IIRC. Richardson 111. I'd have to find his card to remember his business name.

    Speedo tan lines are better than "Borat swimsuit" tan lines on a "high caliber" man.

    I had them made at a place here in Evanston called Best Kind Embroidery. I don't remember exactly how much the hats were but I got 24 of those and about a dozen Carhartt rain defender zip up jackets for $1500

    Well that's my issue. I seldom need it. 1/2 the year my customer could care less if I have cargo on a load of grain. I can cover that in cash if something was to happen. 100k covers everyone but this specific machine. GW wanted to take my policy to 300k for the year for 300.00 Or 700 for the day. Which I felt is absurd.

    Last time 300-500k cost my 80 bucks. But probably 3 years ago. Nothing oversized or overweight. If I was doing what you guys did. I would carry a higher amount also.

    Thanks guys. I'll save this name for the future.

    I don't have great pics. But this is half of mold. The thing that added value was the finish inside mold. They were all worried about a strap or chain touching the polished mold. My first thought is only a moron would put a chain on or near it. But it's probably happened.
