    Hi,
    I am looking for some information on commercial trucking insurance cost in Alberta and in BC. I am a small operator based in Ontario ( 2 trucks and a few flatbeds running Canada and USA). My insurance rate with Markel went up almost 100% for 2012, and I am searching for alternatives on the West Coast.
    Thx.

    You want to insure in western Canada to drive in Ontario? How would the location of the insurer change the rate fOr the area your operating in?

    I just paid my premiums last month for the year and it was $1600 / truck and $350 / trailer - that was with 5 mill and no freight coverage.

    For the year? What kind of truck and trailer? Are you running under someone else's authority?

    Running under my company - 05 Freightliner M2 & 06 Great Dane

    Yup for a whole year - My driver has 15+ years of experience so that's my thinking in why it's so low.

    Single axle? What GVW?

    That seems very low.

    Could you PM me your insurer?

    Thanks a lot for all the information. My insurance with Markel in Ontario was $12000 per truck in 2011 . The new quote for year 2012 was wooping $21000 per truck for 2 mil liability, $100.000 cargo - no accidents for 6 years. Go figure...
