Rating Factors and how price is calculated

There are several variables that affect the price of your commercial auto insurance or whether an insurance company is interested in offering a quote or not. Years of experience, type of business or cargo hauled, the DOT (SAFER) Scores, Safety violations, driving records, frequency and severity of losses, potential premium volume (size of your business) and radius of operation are only some of the important aspects considered. We understand that in this current climate, some insurance carriers are highly selective, and not everyone is accepted. Therefore, we have built relationships with several insurance carriers to match each client with the insurance carrier’s appetite.
