GearheadGrrrl Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Looking for suggestions on insuring a tandem axle tractor... I'm getting tempted to bid on one of the Postal Service tractors and I need insurance to get it home and such until I put it to work. Is it possible to insure it as an RV tow vehicle? Has anyone found truck insurance at low rates payable by the month? thanks in advance, GearheadGrrrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmartyn Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi Thad, In the construction business here in NJ you can get equipment in transit plates. Six sets used to cost $100 but I'm sure that's gone up like everything else. You had to provide an insurance certifcate (contractors liability) made out to NJDMV and when I last renewed they were taking business checks. Only stipulations I knew were no payload in the truck, no after dark and I think no weekends. I only used them interstate before the apportioned tags came out so I don't know how that deal works now either. Bob Quote Ain't a Mack? Take it back!

Lmackattack Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thadquick answer is yes some call it bob tail inshurance. but of course depending on the state you live in there may be diffrent hurdels to jump. I used a commercial insurance company when I bought and drove my R model from K.C. MO to Chicago. It was a 4-5 day permit for an agreed amount of coverage.I found the company searching the internet and made some calls untill I found someone willing to insure a bob tail tractor for a few days.took a wile but I found one.
