Looking at buying one for a year or two to use around the house. Anybody done this and found cheap insurance for them? My main company does not cover dumps period.

I was going to add a rollback to my fleet... until I got the insurance quote. Then I looked at what it did to my Worker's Comp. Much worse. They would have re--rated my entire operation and fleet as a towing company. The put towing companies in the same class as mines and foundrys. You can't get any higher up the scale, cost-wise.

These things can be very dangerous, especially when operated by the less-capable. I can't imagine anyone writing it on a non-commercial policy.

We just had an accident close by a couple weeks ago. Two dumps were offloading side-by-side. The wet load in one stuck at the top and it pulled the truck over sideways. It crushed the cab of the other dump, killing the driver.

Thanks, they can be pretty dangerous, I know a few guys running around with one ton dumps I will talk to them.
