Insurance

[Confederate]

I am in the process of getting my own authority and I am having trouble locating insurance that doesn't cost a absolute fortune. Perfect driving record for the last 18 years, anyone have any suggestions?

Did you ask OOIDA ? :)

Insurance rates for the independent are exhorbitant. When first applying, they use the excuse of "new business" not enough experience...even when you've been driving/owning your own truck for many years.

It took about 5 years before my insurance rates stabilized. Meaning, increases for 4 years, now they stay about the same bankrupting rate. :angry:

Most insurance brokers can write policies only in their state, or immediate area. I eventually found the agency I use by word of mouth, from other independent truckers in the state. My agency consistently beats OOIDA's prices.

I did call my ins co, they can write only Texas residents. :noclue:
