Sentry Truck Insurance?

I believe they are atleast A+ with AM Best. I got a qoute from them from my agent and I had instructed him to only go with A+ or A++. While the rate was a bit higher, on advice of my agent we did not look at them because his experience was they are a bit slow on the claims side for the insured. But no issues with paying cargo claims.

Also, they have been talking about adding a clause that would allow them to disallow a driver in the middle of the term if CSA score went up on them. It was not part of the contract yet but didn't want to deal with this next year if they added it.

 

I have Sentry for my bobtail, unladen and physical damage.

My son also has Sentry (full coverage) but is kinda leary about their reputation. His buddy had to get a lawyer to coax them to pay the full amount of his claim after an accident.... a difference of about $22,000.

When I got wrecked by a drunk illegal in '09 I had Great West... an excellent company. They flew an adjuster to my place a week after the wreck and I had a check in hand one day later... that's service.

I may look at Great West again when my policy expires or a I re-activate my authority in the spring.

 

+1 for Great West. That is who I am with. No claims so can't comment on that but the coverage in the policy is outstanding.

 

I had GW for several years, but really got tired of their propensity to settle with the other parties at the drop of a hat. It would take too long to give every detail, but we had 2 incidents where it was 50/50 whether we were at fault or the other party, but both times they quickly settled. Than when it's renewal time............. well you had these incidents bla bla presto rate increase. Final 2 kickers was a 4 wheeler ran the lite and T boned my truck at the LF drive wheel. They couldn't find any wits to the accident,well 1 that said our truck had the green, but had our truck going East instead of West. GW paid for the dude's car [was only $2000] but we got stuck with 0. That ticked me off: but not nearly as bad as when a Marten veteran of 6 months backed into a truck that I was driving. Marten did all they could to avoid payment for that one, squirreling about the estimate, refusing to pay the full amount etc. Since Marten could buy the fender for $950, they thought they shouldn't have to pay the $1300 my bodyshop guy was quoted from KW. Marten's KW dealer affirmed the price, and said if ya but 2 million worth in parts everyyear that can be your price too. When my agent said I might have 2 pay a percentage of my deductibleto get my truck fixed, that's when I came unglued. $36000 of premium apparently doesn't buy too much representation these days. When renewal time came around, I told my agent anybody BUT Great West

 

I have heard it go both ways with GW. But difference between good and bad was agent. I have seen letters from agents saying they work as an extension of insurance company during claims. BS, they work for me.

 

Same here I have Great West
