But that could change at any time.

There’s nothing wrong with keeping Flo and the Gecko on their toes:)

On top of pricing, both companies also compete for flexibility of payments and discounts for paid in full policies.

You can also choose quarterly, 9 month or monthly.

If you do choose monthly, be sure to get yourself on an EFT, Electronic Funds Transfer agreement so that monies are automatically withdrawn the same time each month.

That way you won’t get stuck on the road with a missed payment.

For both Progressive and GEICO, your renewal offers are negatively impacted when you have a late payment on your record.

While neither company offers a no down payment option, both offer credit card payments and access to pay through their apps.

Well Colorado’s manufacturing sector is taking off again, thanks to it’s trio of growth industries:  aerospace, electronics, and machinery.

Which cities see the most action?

Colorado Springs, now nicknamed “Silicon Mountain,” is a big player.

It’s home to over 500 manufacturing companies generating some major cash investments.

Microchip Technology is dropping a cool $880 million on expansion, and Entegris is putting up a new $600 million center. The city’s also becoming a hotspot for EV tech.

More growth is generated by EV technology, advanced manufacturing, and defense production, especially around Fort Collins and Loveland.

So, what does this all mean? More stuff needs to get from A to B, which is fantastic news for truckers.
