    insurance

    Berkshire-Hathaway does, but I found their quotes to be mucho expensive. $5K is within the norm. My opinion ... Progressive through CIS is the way to go. Couple of insurance inquiries in the past day .... perhaps the pot is getting stirred ...

    Couple of years ago, I had a small shipment from Jersey City, NJ to London, ON CA. Two boxes .. 40 lbs total. Picked up on Fri, due on Sat. Just outside of Syracuse my serpentine belt broke :eek:. Nobody around to rescue the load, especially since it was headed to CA. Bit of luck ... customer...

    Hello March, where ya at

    I have a feeling that some, or many, of us with older smartphones will not be able to download the new app until we upgrade our phones. I have an LG G2X. It's android based. I can't download a few newer apps. EO has just been added to that list. My phone is older than 2 yrs old. It's paid for &...

    New ExpeditersOnline.com website to rollout....

    My cell phone is an LG G2X - Android based. Apparently it's not compatible with the new app. It's a smartphone, but I've had it for more than a couple of years. I suspect it doesn't support the newest Android version. So much for progress ..

    Hello March, where ya at

    TE=FlyingVan;726614]I also like HEB. Last 2 times I was down there i went to HEB to stock up and then slept there. Quiet and nobody bothered me. Better LTE signal than at the J. I'm pretty sure there are signs posted saying no overnight vehicles. Ya might want to give a good look around. That...

    Hello March, where ya at

    I always go to HEB when I'm down there. Very well priced, super fresh produce. Sometimes it's the simple things that keep me going. As far as gettin' outta there, it's prudent to factor in some extra $ on your inbound load to DH out. I normally stay 1 day, then bug out. If I wanna lay in the...

    Speed Limits and fuel economy

    80 mph could be new normal in S.D. -- as in 4 other states Of course they are .... why not? They could use some extra cash .... It appears that GOP Rep. Mary Duvall of Pierre shares my same viewpoint.

    Speed Limits and fuel economy

    Point well made ... but I don't see it as being mutually exclusive. I view increased mpg standards as a national issue & speed limits as more of a local issue.

    Speed Limits and fuel economy

    Side note: It's amazing to me when speed limits get increased how I read articles debating freedom & safety. It's neither. The issue is about economics. It's just a means to get the public to consume more fuel & pay more taxes. Sent from my LG-P999 using EO Forums mobile app
