He showed me about 20 tree companies he insured in Cinci area and what they paid and what they pay with him. Huge savings. He said I could call them and I took him at his word. I asked if I would get nailed the second year after I dropped my friend (insur. friend is a friend to everyone ) and his agency. He is just insuring high quality tree companies. "You'd be amazed at how low a risk these companies are for a claim" he said.

He is buying policies for us in bulk.

I saved about 15k$ last year.
