Long haul dually(hotshot) trucks

Post by rcenters »

Where do you truck agents place your dually risks that are long haul? Can't use Progressive due to 500 mile radius restriction.

Dually/hotshot risks, of course, referring to truckers who use, say, a medium weight pickup like a Ford F450 to pull a cargo trailer(usually a 2 or 3 car hauler trailer).

You might want to try a general agent that represents Northland.

Your comments on Progressive were interesting and timely for me. Many of these hotshots are written through them, sometimes at a 500 mile radius and sometimes a 100 mile radius but most still extend past the radius that they were written at. It appears that Progressive hasn't had anyway of checking on this but may have in the future.

The agents writing these accounts must not understand the question about radius!!!!

Good luck, I hope this helps in placing an account for you.
