Patience always pays off...not every week can be a great week...sometimes ya gotta take one on the chin...Everyone gets their turn in the barrel...*L*
Just got my van title transfered over to the great state of Michigan. They were very friendly and efficient. I paid 271 dollars for a plate that is valid through March of 2011. Also stopped by transportation insurance agency in Toledo "in person" to get my bobtail insurance. My van is currently 100% street legal and can be driven on the highway now.
It feels good to be so close to getting back into the game. I gotta get back home, install my e-track and plywood floor, install new brakes and rotors, do a tune up, replace all of my fluids, get a DOT inspection/DOT physical done, and i'm off to work again. I'm gonna stay out from March all the way till December 25th this year and see what happens.
My cellphone bill is 80 dollars a month, my bobtail insurance is 43 dollars a month, and my wireless internet card will be around 40 a month. That is 163 dollars a month in fixed operating expenses on top of my QC and personal injury insurance. If I can't thrive and survive the market this year, i'm either really unlucky, or just too dumb to be in this business. lol. Any how, I hope you guys stay safe out there and i'll keep you posted on my progress. I might even throw up a few pictures of my van after I take the plumber decals off, wax it, and install my bunk set-up.

Sounds great, I am happy for you. I know how you feel, I went through the same thing last summer.One thing you forgot
aid for or not, Physical damage insurance-to replace it if it gets totalled, just incase.Love to see the pictures of it soon!! I suggest also getting I-Pass also, it will save you time and money.
OVM, as far as I know, it is a special rate that the transportation insurance agency gives to drivers who are leased on with Bolt Express. My bobtail insurance was around 100 a month when I was leased on with Demaris Transportation last year. The insurance company that I have is the "Hudson Insurance Company" that is what it says on my proof of insurance card. Maybe you can call them up and get your rates reduced. I also listed the van's declared value at 7500, so i'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. I'm not sure what your declared value is. But if you have a lower declared value, your bobtail insurance will also be lower because you have a reduced vehicle value.
Yeah, Guido, I got full coverage on the van with a declared value of 7500 bucks. It is all good. But when you buy a van out right, it really isn't a good thing to wreck it until you've made a good amount of money off of it. If it is just a lease van, or a va that you are making payments on, wrecking it is not bad because you have your GAP insurance that covers the entire thing. I am so glad that i'm gonna avoid the nasty winter stuff until next year. After all, I'd like to put away a few thousand before I go sliding up into guard rails like our friend Panther_Art...no pun intended.

I live in a bedroom at my friends house in Michigan when I am out east and I stay at my mothers house when I am in California. I have claimed California as my primary state of residence for 07, 08, and 09 but i'm going to switch my drivers liscense over to Michigan some time within the next few weeks. So, Michigan will be my new base of operations with a few pit stops out in sunny southern California from time to time. I'll miss the weather out there, but them dummycrats, queers, freaky environmental people, peta folks, and general whackos can have the entire state. As far as i'm concerned, we need to contain all of the nuts In one state and California is the test pilot program.
I may lower my replacement value to market price now it is 5 yrs old....
A buddy of mine got burned..he was paying the new value, got totaled and the ins comp. regardless what he paid for, would only go as high as blue book....he was over paying. Needless to say he was pizzed had he known to reduce replacement value.

Transportation insurance agency in Toledo rates are $2 per k physical damage, $1 per k lib, oct/act $20. per week. This is what I was told.
