We have units in our fleet ranging from around $3500/yr all the way up to nearly $10,000 through CIS (this is just what I have heard from different owner ops). Age, credit rating, and location are the major factors in pricing when it comes to Progressive. I am sure previous claims make a big...

Hahaha, I am still laughing at this!

And Happy Thanksgiving to you and your team!

Consistently going above and beyond. Good work John!

Thank you Murray! They all say hello.

Sorry guys, I think I got this thread off topic. I will take a step back now so anybody currently working with them can share their thoughts from a owner ops perspective, which is probably much more important. Our current office staff brought in a bunch of good food today for my b-day so I got...

Dissolve? Absolutely not, never even close. I am 100% owner and although I am not going to post our financials I will say that we are and always have been comfortable. Heck we are only factoring about half of our invoices which is much less than 99% of the small carriers out there. We aren't...

Yes, that is what happened. Again, two sides to every story. I am sure that as long as they don't get ahead of themselves that the drivers will get paid what they are owed. That is, until the IRS decides that the dispatchers should have been employees all along. The irony of the whole thing...

Yep. We now have all of that in place. When I first hired them I really needed the help and jumped into it too quickly, lesson learned. Luckily we did receive a lot of support from many TEANA members and other customers that I had built strong relationships with. But for the most part...

Haha wow! That is worse than Direct TV

Haha, man you are quick! Well there are two sides to every story. I may have ruffled some feathers when I decided that dispatchers needed to be employees and not contractors (still able to work from home though at that point). And honestly, it wasn't the dispatchers that surprised me... it...

Here we go... Owner was a Tenpoint Owner Operator up until about a year ago. As a friend, I helped the owner get "set up" for a local Atlanta delivery company (his words) and allowed Sylectus to bypass their 6 month rule for him. 4 or 5 of there dispatchers were at Tenpoint as well, up until...

Good luck, drive safe! I will be following along.

The story of my life right there ^^^ Any more, peace, quite, and a little fresh air equals instant nap time. Someday I will be able to hunt again.

Haha, man that was definitely one of those moments...

Whew! I initially read this incorrectly and thought you had said that the Tenpoint driver backed into a carload of kids :eek: Now that I have re-read and calmed down, I will be sure to let that team know of their close call.

Stick with the usual suspects and you should be able to do just fine in a straight truck. We only have one straight truck running right now and he is staying fairly busy, and that is without running any automotive as well due to his lift gate.

Again, there is no premium cost. An agent can't control the rates. I suppose you are right.

For the owner ops who run exclusive with Tenpoint, we do provide the Liability and Cargo insurance and in most cases do not charge anything back to the owner ops. The owner ops who provide their own liability and cargo insurance are free to work with other carriers if they choose. Although, I...

John is 100% correct. Opel - I have never heard of a rate that high from Progressive. There must be a problem on the driving record or loss history. If you still have the policy I would be more than willing to review it with Progressive to find why there was such a price difference.
