Who to lease on with? Smaller companies preferred.

why would you be battling the insurance companies for anything?

Maybe you should think of leasing at the start or maybe thinking of selling out and going into something else.

 

I wouldn't have an issue with getting insurance.

Selling out isn't a real defeat, it may be smart because of the amount of time you spent just trying to find insurance. Leasing would be the best but then I would lease to get the trucks rolling, not worry about what you haul at this point.

 

Ridge is right. Profits are profits. If you can lease up and turn a profit, who the hell cares what type of work it is.

I get that, maybe putting the trucks with LS would help you leverage your work by working with an agent to get you into the system and using their insurance to lower your costs. Take the hit up front with the contract revenue until you can work on your own insurance.

That's one possibility.

the other is to reach out with a small carrier who is willing to take a few points off the top to work under. Use their insurance and sub-contract the work with them to cover it. It may be less than what LS or that size carrier would take, but it is also doable.

 

Were you outright declined coverages or given huge numbers? Insurance is real hesitant on new ventures and/or new DOTs.

 

WHY can't you get insurance?
