I Know Percentages Can Be Deceiving, But ...

Unregistered Carriers on 12/07/2009 - 1409
Unregistered Carriers on 12/08/2009 - 1404

Illinois - 93.43%
Maine - 93.29%

I was looking over some State registration percentages this morning and I noticed something kind of odd. "We" have now registered 66.46% of the carriers from New Jersey, a non-participating UCR state. (Bill Leonard will, of course, take most of the credit for New Jersey - whether or not it's true!)

Interestingly, that percentage puts them ahead of at least four participating UCR states - Georgia (65.15%), Michigan (65.45%), North Carolina (62.73%) and South Carolina (55.98%).

It also puts them within "spitting distance" of California (67.12%), Iowa (67.58%), Mississippi (69.49%), Montana (68%) and New Hampshire (69.99%).

Three of those states - Georgia, North Carolina and California - have over 5,000 unregistered carriers each, with California having almost 10,000.

As I said, this is not a judgment, just an observation.

One could make the argument, however, that it might be more effective to "de-participate" some states and take our chances. Ju-s-s-st kidding!
