Not to mention I have pulled over 3 dump trucks in the past 10 years and had them pay for a new windshield

That's good.

Did they try to claim they own the road for 500 feet behind them and they post a sign on the back of the truck that can only be read at about 150 feet claiming so?

I was out helping my customers after Michael devastated my area. My customers don't hate me and society doesn't hate people like me. Just idiots like you who hate anything you don't understand.

Nope. I know how they operate. Every one I pulled over was scared as shite and begged me not to call the cops. As soon as I said I wouldn’t call the cops and as long as they called their boss and let me talk to him I got all their insurance info. I’ve never had a problem having a dump truck company pay for a new windshield

And I’ve never falsely accused them. It’s always been legit.

Expenses are factored in but that isn't considered profit. Profit would be after we pay all claims and expenses we are still making money on the premiums. That's simply not the case for any insurance company in the US.


Progressive still runs a profit IIRC, but you're right, I shouldn't have said profits. My point remains - premiums are nearly 50% higher than actual claims for most companies.

Absolutely, that's why you'll see rate increases or decreases throughout the year based on Cat/non-cat loss ratios. Claims experience also effects eligibility, but that's a whole different animal.

Drive back to Houston, go to Juan Auto glass(no joke) dude will hook you up. I rarely pay more than $100 for a windshield. It is “catch only, no card, no shek “

It’s not like you posted your whole master plan to defraud your insurance carrier online...and on a website where you’ve previously posted your email address.

Windshield coverage is a waste of money. Plus, my baw will hook me up with my inspection tax sticker. My windshield looks like a brick hit it and idgaf.

not by a mile, If you take out a 250K life insurance policy and pay 200 a month, die 2 years later how do you suppose the insurance company makes a profit off of that?

You are not very smart and then you have the audacity to complain about their action after you tried to defraud them!? People like you are the reason insurance agents hate their customers.

I’m talking about auto insurance, I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
