insurance??????

Hello Folks,

Once again, turning to you with a major problem.

Been pulling a 4 horse gooseneck with 1ton Dodge Dually.  Not real pleased with performance in mountains, so jumped at the chance to buy a VERY nice Peterbilt smaller semi.  Both my husband and I have perfect driving records, etc.  Know we have to get our CDL's because of airbrakes, etc, but guess what?  We can't find insurance for this truck.  We're not officially a farm, we SURE don't make money at this sport, and we're not a company.  We have honestly tried at least 20 insurance companies.  No one will insure us if we want to travel over a 50 mile radius.  Which would be just fine if our rides were in that radius! 

Just hoping that someone in ridecamp land has a bigger truck like that and can give us advice on trying to find insurance.  Very frustrated at this time.  Sure doesn't seem fair that we buy a bigger truck for safety's sake, (stopping and pulling), and no one will give us insurance?  The truck is totally paid for too, and all we really need is liability.  Any clues out there? You might want to respond privately because since I had no idea it would be a problem, maybe nobody else has run into it.....

Thanks and sure hope someone can help! 

Oh, and guys.  Check this out.  How does one practice with their truck to get a CDL if you can't get it out of the driveway.......
