    Insurance

    I believe your agent will give you the most competitive option. To answer your question directly, I believe Berkshire Hathaway & maybe Lloyd's of London. I'm not sure what other companies, besides Progressive. I got a quote through Berkshire once ... made my head spin.

    Uber Freight

    I was under the impression you already had a game plan in place. Uber, Amazon, etc .. you will go broke making money for those companies. If you're looking for sources of freight now, you placed your cart before the horse.

Problem is ... the other options generally are even more expensive! You can ask the folks at CIS for guidance. $8,300?? ... $12,000?? ..... do you guys actually...

    Pulling an All Nighter

    It's tough on a 500 mi run. They're isn't really enough time built into a run of that distance. Best hope is to get to the delivery early and nod off for a bit before they open.

    Pulling an All Nighter

    It's simply part of the program. A plant 600 mi away needs something first thing in the morning ... that's you! That's how we make a living. It's an opportunity. Don't want it? Pass on it, someone else will take it. Nighttime driving has its benefits. Less traffic for one. My body has...
