The CADOI operates a website at: http://www.insurance.ca.gov
Consumers and Business alike can visit this open public informative site. It can give you answers to many questions you have regarding insurance matters.
It also incorporates an internal page where you can compare your current Workers’ Compensation Rates to those filed by other competing companies.
The rates are listed by Class Code. Unfortunately, even though they file a rate, they may not underwrite that Class Code in CA. An example would be Class Code 7219, Truckers. While they all file a rate, most will not issue a policy for the 7219 Class Code.
Also, you can look up your agents license and status at:
