Progressive Ins. is a sponsor on Plowsite.

There is also a new sponsor posting in "The Elements of Business" part of the site here.

Hey, thank's alot, now I need to sell my ATV (the only thing I have insured by Progressive) and spend the money on Palermo's Pizza's and Johnsonville brats..................


In all seriousness, look for an insurance broker, not a single company representitive like AmFam, State Farm, etc..... A broker will typically have dozens of different insurance providers to choose from, and be able to give you comparable quotes with providers that specialize in your business niche............

Snow Insurance

You need to reach out to a larger independent insurance agency in your area so they can search the marketplace for something affordable for you. A small agent/broker generally does not have the resources to get this done, especially a captive agent (Allstate/State Farm/Farmers, etc). Google Independent Insurance Agents Association and search for an agent in your area. The post is correct, our program is only available in NY. Rates for this class of business have gone up considerably since last year so it may be a bumpy ride. Good luck and whatever you wind up with make sure it does not exclude snow removal!!
