    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I didn't see the post. I'll look for it ... thanks. But that being said, things are relative. Is it possible to gauge how effective it is? Are operators slipping through cracks, or are the flood gates open? We operate in an environment of marginal differences. Isn't 90% effective better than 0%...

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    I'm very thankful to all for taking the time to share their thoughts on this important issue. I have a simple question. Somehow I suspect there isn't a simple answer ... Why doesn't TEANA require VOI certification from ALL it's members??

    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 ...

    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 ..
