Somebody mentioned State Farm recently, anyone have an agent I can call.  The two I spoke with here say it's a commercial truck and requires a commercial policy.  Even my local Progressive agent says "commercial."  I'm open for any other recommendations also.  If I don't have any luck with y'alls suggestions I am going to work my way down the list that's in the resource guide.

Hi: I got my insurance through "Texas Farm Bureau.  My Volvo is now registered as a motorhome (another story on that one).  I did also go through the same thing until I provided them with the information that the State of Texas allows us to register as Motor Home.  But before I could get it transferred this way, I did have to have a DOT Inspection.  I provided insurance agent with the pictures of the progress that I have made so far, and also provided a picture of a truck that was finished as my final goal.

Rates aren't too bad considering. My agent is Barbra, here in Canton TX.
Hope this helps you.

I went with Allied through Farm & City.  The only restriction is that I can not use it as an independent RV, or tow others rigs with it.

National Interstate through Poliseek has no restrictions....at least mine did not.  A new policy may.

I went from Progressive at $2,200 a year to State Farm at $700 a year.  Primary reason for less was the move from Fort Worth area to rural Plainview, Texas, south of Amarillo.

If you qualify, try USAA.

We've been with National Interstate through AON for quite a few years.  Reasonable rates and the only claim we had was handled quickly and efficiently.  Hugs, Di

Mine is with National interstate also, just rec'd the next year's policy for both 2000 770 and 42' 5er, came to $1550.00 full coverage on both.

No inspection great to deal with over the phone.

Just bad timing, Dirt.  The "Diesel Tax" was only in effect for a very brief period, then repealed.  I wasn't charged it on my T2000 when I moved to Texas a year ago this past February.

I am planning for a class 8 Western Star truck.

Insurance quotes was so irritating.  Finally, got to C&C Marketing and Insurance, Livingston, TX. 936 425 5041 Chris (wife) and Charles Yust have their act together.  She knew exactly what I was looking for and made a great package deal for the tractor, my Chevy Suburban, and boat trailer under GMAC, including Good Sam roadside service.
She was the only one who did not vacillate on the specifics.

Progressive is NG
Foremost is NG for tractors unless fully converted by a factory=baloney.
Blue Sky said no to heavy trucks.
National Interstate was rude and not interested in discussing the deal.
American Modern=NG.
Miller RV is in Oregon? and not a viable alternative.

It was Foremost, who wanted to underwrite the Class 7 or Class 8 (HDT) as a Medium Duty Truck (Class 5 or 6), because the computer didn't know how to handle a HDT.  Imagine that, Commit fraud on your application and then expect them to support you after the accident.  Sheez.  The spin I got is that we shouldn't even be driving such big trucks, but we will take your money.  NO way.

GMAC, cheaper than those mentioned above, and had no problem with me using the FL for a daily commuter as the others did.

John, you are grandfathered in GMAC.  I also had them at one time years ago - around the time you bought your truck.  I recently tried switching back to them.  They would not take me, except under a commercial policy.

We are talking with Farm & City as we speak.  No problem, very easy to deal with.  We are moving up to a class 7-- 2L M2 112.

I have State Farm on my I-H 4400.  I have been with State Farm for years.  I pay $500 and change.  Trailer on or off is ok. In AK liability insurance for F250 is $300.
