Edwards cited actual data on expenses like agent commissions and office costs to justify a smaller increase while noting driver rates will vary by factors including location and model. Agents object to cuts in commissions for certain coverage lines, and new rates could take effect November 1 with some rural areas seeing deductions under the board’s staff recommendations.
