State Farm doesn't write commercial liability policies for forklift repair. I had them for years for my personal stuff until I found out the hard way my insurance man was **** me. Don't use them for "commercial" insurance on your work truck either.

I've had 2 agents for State Farm write my "commercial" truck insurance. They both asked the same question- "Do you have employees or customers drive in you truck?" When I answered no- they both wrote the policy. Didn't find out til too late that the policy they had written was in fact not a commercial policy- because they didn't offer it at the time. They paid the claim but proceeded to drop me because "I lied on the application". Erie was the only company I could find that would write me because- as I found out- being dropped by an insurance carrier is a big red flag.

I've been with Erie for about 15 yrs with no regrets- both for my commercial truck policy & my general liability.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
