Progressive is crazy. A policy holder sideswiped us, and was given a ticket. They actually called us first. Since they called us we filed a claim with them, not through our insurance. They refused to cover the costs of repairs. Customer service was nada when we spoke. So we sent them a copy of our dashcam video showing that their client was in the wrong. Then the apologies poured in, and the repairs were done asap. We’re not a fan of the company. Great video!

A problem I see is all these folks (including me) who recently got into the game. An even bigger issue I believe are the number of guys running "non-cdl" with 3500 and a 16GN. Most definitely cdl range. Also the trucks running without numbers but you know they're hauling in a commercial capacity. Anyone in the game knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Former Progressive Auto Rep here. The reason your rate went up is "Due to your area and they way they rate different drivers and potential risks for that specific area". Each area is different, but the closer you are to big cities (places where more accidents happen, car break-ins, people walking across the road in front of cars, etc), the higher this number increases come renewal. It all comes down to how your area is rated. You can do everything correctly (no accidents, tickets) and that premium can still increase depending on how they rate the risk for that area. There are a lot of variables that come in to play in why a premium may have increased, but personally from what I have seen, this number is most largely affected by the specific risk of your vehicle (how much damage it can cause or is prone to) or how hard it is to source specific parts for your vehicle in the event of a claim (Idk why, but after the chip shortage everything diesel become almost impossible to source domestically so a lot to thank for this is international shipping and freight costs). Keep in mind, all of this is rated on "if it happens at max potential". Meaning; you wreck at fault with maximum damages. Love your channel guys. Been looking a lot into the hotshot trucking industry lately and this is one of the most informative, real experience channels out there. Thanks for all you do and hope I shed some light on this subject a year later. Wishing you the best & success❤

I'm told in Louisiana, Progressive is the only company that will insure a truck older than 20 yrs of age. I'm getting quotes in excess of $35K for 1 year. That's more than %100 increase.

Progressive raised everyone's rate, my insurance increased after my renewal that came about 6 months of having insurance with them. Told me my rate went up because of the accident percentage in my area. So basically I'm paying more because of accident that happened with others. However, when it comes to trucking insurance, I don't think there's any insurance out there that'll compare to Shelter insurance. When I was on the road hotshoting I used Shelter and didn't pay but $742 a month for truck, trailer, and a million on cargo coverage. About 4 months in my rate dropped to $644 a month. My suggestion is try Shelter Insurance.

There is more to it than you think. Underwriters have the ability to bind the company to the policy. Actuaries make the rate. There is a lot that goes into that rate. You also need to vet the insurance company you are dealing with and make sure they can afford to pay the claims. Shop around, but brokers are not always the answer either. They have no fiduciary responsibility to ensure its good coverage, they want to get paid and will push to the highest commission company if they can. Best wishes! Hope you get it sorted!

I'm with american family/Midvale insurance and they raised my premium 53% and I have been with them for 27 years. I canceled them.

That’s wild! 27 years of loyalty and they did that. Goes to show what they really care about. 😤

At my renewal Progressive wanted $4786 per month. Previous rate $1955. Florida. I already found another insurance company & dropped them.

That’s crazy… they really out here picking and choosing this monthly rates. Glad you were able to find a secondary choice. Who did you end up going with?

Yes, they investigated me even after I told them not to worry about the claim because they were getting aggressive with me and I knew the accident wasn't my fault it was an hit and run and she gave me an unexpected insurance cancellation for 30 days. 🤬🤬

With progressive halting residential insurance in Cali, word is they will be halting commercial structures next. This only seems right that they double your policy, I think progressive got to big to fast, and have ran their course. Would surprise me if they go under before the economy shake back. If you can make it thru the tuff times! Man you will reap the benefits when it’s hot! Good luck bro. Love the videos!

It has 100% do to with your zip code. Your zip code got the highest rate increase due to everyone in your zip code and some other zip codes making claims. Even though your loss history shows nothing. It doesn't matter that your loss history has nothing you are in that zip code. The insurance agency that shops your policy is called an insurance broker. That is who want to deal with so they can shop your insurance with multiple carriers. You most definitely want to be with a carrier that is A rated and you definitely want to deal with a broker who knows your business so they can put you in the correct policy. Yes I am an insurance agent and I think your videos are great!!
@HotshotMacc Жыл бұрын
Thats great feedback fam! Appreciate it! Thankfully we were with a great insurance broker that was able to shop around and find is a much better rate than what progressive was trying to quote us. Hopefully this all gets better for everyone in the near future. Thanks again for your feedback and all you do for this industry 🙏🏽🫡💯

Ultimately settle for subprime insurance companies. Just wait until you have a claim .
