Tow Truck Insurance Pittsburgh Pennsylvania — How Do You get Good Pricing?

Just how do you get good pricing on Tow Truck Insurance in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania?

Excellent question, and the answer is actually not all that difficult.

Companies that qualify for the best pricing on Pennsylvania Tow Truck Insurance have the following characteristics:

has had continuous insurance coverage for three years or longer
zero claims last five years
never pays their insurance bill late
has never had an insurance lapse
pays their insurance bill in full for the year
all drivers have a clean motor vehicle report
no safety violations
owns newer trucks
owner has excellent credit

Those who pay the most for their Pennsylvania Tow Truck Insurance follow this pattern:

they are a new venture
they have plenty of accidents and claims turned in
they have had lapses in insurance coverage
they pay their bill late
they try to pull the “new business venture” scam
they offer repo
they disguise their company as a towing company when they are actually an auction auto hauler or hotshotter
they need unlimited mileage of radius coverage
owner lies on the insurance application
owner hides trucks
owner doesn’t disclose all drivers
owner hires drivers with multiple tickets and accidents on their MVR record

What’s interesting is that the difference in pricing between those who pay the least amount of money and those who pay the most is striking.

A towing company, no matter if it’s offering for-hire towing that includes roadside assistance or towing that is provided through contracts via motor clubs with a spotless record, could qualify for rates as low as $3500 per truck with physical damage coverage and $1 million of liability coverage.

For the opposite side of the spectrum, rates may start at $25,000 per truck if an insurance company is willing to insure them!

Companies that are legitimate new ventures with a clean driving record will not qualify for the lowest rates for Pennsylvania Tow Truck Insurance but the rates may not be insurmountable.

Over time, the new business venture will qualify for better rates as long as they are free of any tickets or accidents.

As an agency we have witnessed many mistakes tow owners have made on their Pennsylvania Tow Truck Insurance, and we use claims scenarios to help educate our readers on practices to avoid. Let’s now continue part 3 of Jimmy Jam Towing.

Tow Truck Insurance Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Claim Scenario – Jimmy Jam Towing Recap of Part 2

In our previous article, which you may read by clicking this link: Tow Truck Insurance Philadelphia, we find Jimmy Jamison having a few beers with his friends and discussing his current employment situation.

Within the last month or so, Jimmy had lost his factory job for missing too many work days. Jimmy wasn’t an early riser, and with his propensity to stay up all night long partying with his friends he would inevitably come to work late or call off sick.

So, Jimmy loses his job and also fails to qualify for unemployment benefits. He is flat broke and forced to move in once again with dear old mom and dad.

Jimmy really is very lazy but he is a likable sort of guy. His closest friends rib him about his irresponsible streak and help him out for some inexplicable reason. Tonight is no exception; they are trying to get Jimmy a job he can keep.

Jimmy’s friend “Tiny” Tim Hester suggests he try being a tow truck driver. Sitting down all day appeals to Jimmy’s lazy side so he is interested.

“Tiny” puts Jimmy in touch with his uncle Carl, whom everybody calls him Brub, and they make arrangements to meet at the 62 Bar on the east side at 4 PM. Let’s now find out what happens next.

Tow Truck Insurance Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Claim Scenario – Jimmy Jam Towing Part 3

Surprisingly, Jimmy is able to meet at the 62 bar 15 minutes before his appointment and sits down at the table near the back where he can watch those entering the bar. He motions for the barmaid to bring him a beer and begins to nurse it as he waits for his appointment.

A few patrons come and go. Jimmy looks at his watch. He was sure Brub agreed to meet him at 4 PM. Jimmy glances at his watch for maybe the fifteenth time. It’s now 20 after 4. Jimmy thinks to himself that he just got stood up.

Jimmy decides he’s going to call “Tiny”. He pulls out his phone from his pocket and he notices that Brub actually texted him to tell him he would be 15-20 minutes late. Jimmy forgot to turn on his phone.

With a sigh of relief, Jimmy looks up after reading the text and sees a man enter the bar and begin to look around. Jimmy waves to the man on the off chance its Brub. The mans nods and walks over to Jimmy.

“You Jimmy?” the rather tall, maybe 6’4, middle aged man inquires.

“Yep, that’s me. “I’m guessing you’re Brub?” Jimmy replies.

“One and the same. What are you drinking?” Brub asks. Jimmy tells him. He walks over to the bar and returns with two beers.

“So, Tiny tells me you want to get into the towing business, yeah?” Brub asks.

“Maybe. Depends on what it pays and the hours. I’m guessing you own a tow company?” Jimmy asks.

“Yep, I do, and I’m always looking for drivers. You have any experience driving a tow truck?”

Jimmy pauses for a moment before answering and looks Brub in the eye. “No, not really. I drove some trucks in the army when I was in, but that’s the extent of my experience.”

“What kind of trucks did you drive in the army?” Brub inquires. Jimmy goes on to tell Brub what he drove.

“Our trucks are a bit smaller than what you drove in the army, so that won’t be a problem. What’s on your driving record? Any tickets? Accidents?” Brub questions.

“Nope. Got a spotless record. Nothing in the last three years,” Jimmy states with confidence.

“Well okay, that’s good. The rates on insurance go up for me when my drivers have bad records. Let me tell you what I would like to offer you because I think you would do just fine.”

Brub explains what Jimmy could earn and even mentions that “if you are good, and I mean really good, I just might be looking for a future partner.” Brub gives a nod and wink, then motions the barmaid Judy over and orders another round for them both.

Jimmy’s career in the tow business begins at noon the following Monday. We will learn more in our next episode.
