RM: I am not sure that is true.
We bought a new car last summer and had to call Progressive and add it to our policy before we could leave the lot with it.
Also if your policy is good for up to 10000 lbs like most car policies, it will not cover a deuce or larger truck.
I just got an official letter from GL: It states
"Starting Feb 1st 2012. Due to Costumer concern, We will now allow a 12 month window for loadouts. All sales are going to be conducted from one central location in Guam. Access for preview and loadout is by boat only, no civilian personnel will...
