Inside the Heavy Haul Trucking Companies Garage Keepers premium spread

Two Heavy Haul Trucking Companies can both be quoted on Garage Keepers and end up at opposite ends of the $780–$5,700/year range. The shape of each profile:

Low-end profile (~$780/year): owner-operator or small crew, no claims in three years, clean operational documentation, single-state operation, conservative scope. Eligible for standard-market preferred tiers and bundled placements.
