Think about this: all over America, RIGHT NOW, there's 90+ yr old men and women driving 40+ft long diesel pushers with their $100K BMW SUV in tow..........they have no special license or training, just $$$$$$$. I'm a professional driver, 41yrs old, good health, married, and I just want a TOW TRUCK @8000lb to drive as my driver. It's literally the exact same as me driving my dually, which I could pull a 40ft goose neck with loaded to the hilt and never be confronted with the insurance question.The best part? I had been plowing all winter with the other truck they never asked about
I can use a Prius to make money. But I do understand the delema, I just really sucks. I'm probably going to sell the truck, because, like, what am I going to do with it.
I wasn't upset to drop Progressive and now I'm even less upset. I'll just go back to my earlier comment about them being crooks.I won't deal with progressive. Long story short they dropped me because my new truck had a snow plow on it. Didn't matter if it was just sitting in the driveway or not.

It's really socialism in disguise. I'm committed to not ranting about this, it's a subject I'm highly passionate about and I'm currently in the middle of why I STRONGLY disagree with ALL insurance.
Hey, is your "ex-wife" a tow truck? Or service body of some kind?
We're with progressive and pay $600 for 6mths and that covers KITT, The bronco and the dually. I really don't study the coverage, I just want to pay the least so I can drive. I know IDIbronco's "ex-wife" is a brick nose truck, but based on his statement it almost sounded like it was some type of "commercial" vehicle.
No she isn't. She has a regular bed with dually fenders. If I get to use her regularly for making money like I'd like to, I will get different/better insurance. Until then, it's regular liability insurance for me.
. So the 12 valve swap I was doing this winter is starting this month.
Was it a carter?
Ahhhhh..... the illusive 12v......I was doing a scrap metal run the other day and the guy weighing my stuff asked about why I wasn't in my dually, but that started a conversation about diesels and he told me that he bought a class c motorhome for $3500 that had a 12v backed by an Allison with @60K miles on it! He says he's living in it now and plans to put the drivetrain in the right truck when he finds it. But that's the way to get a 12v, find a motorhome!
