You are insuring: 5 day cab trucks, 4 long trucks, and 2 sprinters. plus 13 trailers

4 Long Trucks are 4 class 6 three axle tractors I assume?
I assume you will run about 960,000 miles per year combined – about normal for a private carrier
You are going to also save money and not insure the trailers.
You are also going to have a SIR of $100,000 which you will secure with a LOC (letter of credit)
You need to budget about .134 cents per mile for insurance AL, PD for all the vehicles Mileage will be computed off your IFTA reports.

OK – need some workers comp? What’s your MOD rate for last year?
so thats what i tell the insurance people... ive been getting alot of ballparking.. which is ok according to my teacher...
i would rent the trailers but ryder was being a pita and wouldnt let me in on the info.. so i "bought" trailers..
