.85 or .90 is the same thing. Would you turn down a 500 mile run over a nickle?

A nickle, 6 cents, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,....32, 33,34. The point is there has to be a cut off place somewhere does't there?

Run more miles and the insurance cost per mile goes down, doesn't it ?

that only works IF he is going to run extra miles/work more at his preferred rate.....

zorry · Jan 27, 2014

Of course. I never encourage anyone to run below their preferred rate.

I went to Load-1 preschool as a child.

Why not just raise your rates that you charge your carrier/customer to accommodate the higher cost of insurance? I don't see how people are still running for 85 cents per mile in today's market. I'm getting 90 cents per mile from Express Family.

I need a better paying carrier for my ford because I make neither but it is a variable rate with a minimum

I'll save almost $450 this year on my Progressive policy by switching from monthly to annually.

That is excellent but many of the folks who can't buy an Espar also couldn't pay annually unless the discount was most of the total. Dave Ramsey may not need more listeners but more definitely need to be listeners.

I agree. When one realizes the savings, easily overlooked, that should be one of the things on the short term financial goals.
That $450 savings would go a long way towards paying off other debt.

Putting a side % of the money you make every run is crucial.

Like any business you have to insure that you have proper reserves. Way too many unexpected things that can happen in life and business.

With as rough as this winter has been I am sure rates are going to go up again...

I came across this little tidbit..wonder why they need More money..snopes.com: Progressive Insurance - Peter Lewis Donations

jujubeans · Jan 29, 2014

And then there was this. Chairman of Progressive Insurance Peter Lewis Donated Millions to Left Wing Organizations-Truth!

Peter Lewis is not alive. Flo has taken over.

2011 Extended GMC was quoted today at 4000.00 per year by Progressive agent, 333.00 per month.

No accidents (fault or no fault) for 40 years. One windshield claim, no tickets in 17 years, no offenses at all in that time frame. Better keep shopping, as State Farm will not insure the van for Interstate.

Do have a quote for 121.00 per month, 1452 per year, with no towing or roadside offered. Non-Trucking liability is 46.00 per month, physical damage is 75.00......1000 deductible. Need more figures and complete overview.

Considering maintenance and tax.....what do you suggest for this percent amount? Is it the old 1/3 and 2/3 I keep hearing about.
