Are you talking about full coverage? Liability only? Fire & theft?
A CDL is not required to drive a vehicle with air-ASSISTed brakes, any more

| Hi all,
Collision? What level of liability? $100/$300K? That would be the minumim I
would have, and $1300 doesn't seem out of line. You can register it as an
historical vehicle, and pay about $350. That would, however, limit your use
of the truck.
than it would be required for vaccuum-assisted brakes. The key word is
air-over-HYDRAULIC. That means that the brakes still work hydraulically even
if the air supply fails. Tell them that.
How did the subject come up in your discussions with the Dept. of Motor
Vehicles? Did they ask you, or did you offer the info? You need to say
nothing and offer no facts when dealing with the state-sanctioned Mafia
known as the DMV. Nowhere else is your right to remain silent more useful.
Go to another office, and this time, let them do the talking.

Subject: [MV] Unimog insurance problems (Maine)
|
| I recently bought a 406 Unimog and was surprised to find out that
| insuring it is apparently a big problem in Maine. I've been quoted
| $1300 and can't seem to find anything less than that. Just so you can
| get a feel of my shock, that is more than I pay for my Pinzgauer, 97
| 1/2 GMC pickup, and 97 Subaru COMBINED. The problem appears to be that
| no normal underwriter wants to touch it, so I have to go to the
| insurance equivalent of a loan shark. I don't understand :-( Can
| anybody give me any advice?
|
| Another shocker is the need for a CDL. I know about a dozen reasons
| for needing a CDL, but air assisted brakes was not one of them. Just
| another headache to get settled before I can fully enjoy driving 45mph
| 8' off the ground :-)
