If you own your own consumer business and are looking for a commercial shipping company that will ship e U.S., Canada and even do Mexico heavy haul then look no further. LGI Inc. is the company you need. They specialize in heavy haul transportation as well as over the road transportation. And becaue they have established contacts on both sides of the border, they can go to and from Mexico if needed. They use vans, flatbed, stepdeck, double drop, removable gooseneck and like I said above, specialized heavy haul trucking. They do NOT provide residential or household transportation.

If you're interested in using them for your shipping needs, it's good to note their website is very easy to navigate and easy to find just what it is you're looking for. They can ship automobiles, boats and any other heavy equipment you might need to ship. You can read about all of their heavy haul bid conditions right at their website as well. They also give you information about "All Risk" insurance coverage for whatever it is you're shipping. This is a great company for all of your heavy duty shippind needs.

You're probably wondering what a "BoBo" is right? PetSmart has them and I'm sure you've seen the commercial with the hotdog and his BoBo and he goes with his owner to PetSmart to buy a new one. We can't buy them for Knoxie because they last all of about 10 minutes, if that. She literally tears them apart so no stuffed toys for her. But, I needed a gift for my parents dog, Freckles and a gift for my brothers dog, Rory. Neither one of them eat biscuits or doggie snacks or anything like that (sensitive tummy's I'm guessing) but they like soft chew toys. I was just in CVS this morning and found a pink BoBo with the pink ribbon on it. Being both dogs are girls I thought it very fitting and am now done shopping for dogs!

When we go up to New York City for the Avon Walk we're going to have to make a hotel reservation to stay in a hotel the night before so we're right there. I'm sure as it gets closer to the actual walk we'll know the location of opening ceremonies and will be able to find a hotel near there. A friend of mine was telling me that when the time comes to use TravelHero.com. They provide discount hotel reservations and can help you find a great place to stay in hundreds of different cities in the U.S., Mexico, Canada and about 216 other countries. Not only can you find a hotel but you can also find flights, car rentals, activities and even vacation packages using the same website. If you're not comfortable booking any of your vacation needs online they also have an 800 number to call.

If I can persuade my husband to make the Avon Walk into a week trip we might need to look into renting a car. I'm not sure if we'd be flying or driving, but there's enough time right now to figure that all out. And yes, I have yet to even tell him I'm signed up.

I wish I could be there for it, but, since it's up in New York and I'm down here in Florida it looks like I can't. I'm wondering though if there's a way to meet others from this area that will also be walking in it. I'll have to roam around their site a little bit more when I have some free time. Here's some more info though on the party:
