News Image

“Obtaining cheaper car insurance is not that difficult. There are several clever methods any driver can apply in order to save money on car insurance,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several methods drivers can use in order to get lower car insurance rates.

The main reason for shopping online is to obtain the lowest car insurance deal possible. However, policyholders that own only the minimum required coverage can be put in a difficult situation when an accident happens. In many cases, the minimum coverage is not enough to cover all the expenses. That’s why policyholders should get more than minimum coverage, and then try to lower their premiums.

To get lower car insurance rates, policyholders should follow the next tips:


  • Consider buying a safe car. One important factor that can affect the price of insurance is the safety rating of a vehicle. Drivers that are planning to buy a new vehicle should check what vehicles are considered safe and, thus easier and cheaper to insure. Drivers can check the safety ratings of vehicles by going to websites of IIHS and NHTSA. Policyholders can also improve the safety rating of their current vehicles. There are numerous aftermarket safety devices that can make a car safer. However, drivers should contact their insurers, before installing any safety devices, and ask them what safety devices are approved and how much they can save on insurance.
  • Attend and graduate a defensive driving course or a refresher course. During these courses, drivers will learn how to better identify road obstacles and how to avoid them. Also, they can improve their driving skills and learn new safe driving techniques. Graduating a defensive driving course will make the insurance company provide a discount that usually is 10% of insurance costs for the next 5 years. Senior drivers are recommended to attend refresher courses and get in touch with the latest safety devices and safe driving tips.
  • Combine multiple policies offered by the same company. One effective way that can help policyholders to save money on car insurance, is to combine all the available policies to one insurer. Besides saving money on insurance, bundling policies can be convenient, as policyholders will have one contract with one carrier for all of their insurance needs.
  • Driver fewer miles and see if you qualify for a low-mileage discount. Insurance companies consider that drivers that spend less time in traffic are less likely to be involved in accidents. For this reason, they encourage drivers to drive less by offering a substantial low-mileage discount. To qualify for this discount, drivers will have to drive fewer miles than a certain limit that is different from one provider to another.

Axle Launches to Smooth Road For America’s Troubled Truckers


Axle, the financial partner for the modern freight broker, today announces that it has received $1.4 million in pre-seed funding led by Trucks Venture Capital. Axle modernizes factoring, an alternative to lending, which gives small businesses the cash flow required to pitch, win and service competitive contracts. The round will help grow the Axle team of transportation and finance experts, to reach more small businesses who need help managing their cash flow, and also included Plug and Play Ventures, 37 Angels, Fontinalis Partners, and Techstars.

“Our goal is to even the playing field, so the smaller businesses that employ most Americans can compete and thrive,” said Bharath Krishnamoorthy, Axle CEO and co-founder. “It’s difficult for small businesses to finance their operations and growth today. We want to do everything we can to get them on the same footing as their larger competitors.”

Why factoring?

Poor cash flow management is the second most common reason small businesses fail, with two primary ways they’re vulnerable against large competitors:

  • First, they don’t have the same access to bank or equity financing, so they rely entirely on sales revenue;
  • Second, they don’t have the scale and leverage to demand favorable terms, so they often have to wait 30 or more days for payment after work is completed.

Factoring arose to bridge this gap and is a longstanding, essential part of small business financing. In 2018, private lenders purchased over $3 trillion in invoices across a wide range of sectors. But while everything in business has changed, factoring has not: it’s always been done with paper and pen, and that process simply can’t scale to fit the needs and pace of today’s businesses.

Axle’s platform provides funds upfront for unpaid invoices, so businesses can keep working.

“We’ve been working toward the automation of long haul trucking for years, because of heavy downward trends impacting our economy’s essential connective tissue,” said Reilly Brennan, founding partner of Trucks Venture Capital. “Axle frees up significant capital to support the businesses and individuals responsible for getting goods around our country.”

Freeing up the Freight Industry

Axle is optimized for any small business whose sales and payment cycles don’t match, giving them the kind of working capital required to operate among bigger competitors. Currently, the team is focused on freight brokers – the folks responsible for ensuring products move through trucking services. There are over 16,000 freight brokers in the United States.

Freight brokers are in a tough spot within an already tough industry. Demand exceeds the supply of truckers, with a trucker shortage of 60,800 drivers. This puts pressure on freight brokers to compete by offering truckers the ability to get paid fast. If small freight brokers don’t get paid efficiently, they can’t take on new customers or pay their carriers on time, further slowing an already strained industry. With lean margins, these small brokers are often only a few slow-paying customers away from missing payroll and shutting down.

How Axle works

Axle modernizes the factoring process, bringing automation and financial technology to freight brokers who previously used a largely outdated paper and pen process. Axle offers easy credit reviews and quick funding, transparency into payment status, and automated payment processing, invoicing and collections. Freight brokers interested in working with Axle can find out more here.

Axle’s features include a fully-online application and on-boarding process, as well as a dashboard to add customers, submit documentation, and track payments.

About Axle

Axle is a next-generation carrier payments platform. We are modernizing supply-chain payments, starting with factoring for freight brokers. We help small businesses compete, giving them the kind of cash flow required to pitch, win and service competitive contracts. For more information please visit http://www.axlepayments.com.

Woolpert and Optimal GEO JV Wins MAPPS Grand Award for Lidar Collection After Hurricane Maria


Optimal GEO COO Mark Brooks (left) and Woolpert Geospatial Program Director Mike Meiser accept their MAPPS Grand Award.

“Woolpert and Optimal GEO are honored to support the great work of the USACE and JALBTCX by collecting this data, which has proved to be an invaluable tool in preparing for and recovering from natural disasters such as this.”

Woolpert and Optimal GEO were presented with the MAPPS Award for Data Acquisition & Processing and the MAPPS Grand Award for their “Hurricane Maria: Rapid-Response Lidar Collection” project at the organization’s 13th annual Geospatial Excellence Awards, held last week in Honolulu. The project was performed by WMR-532, the joint venture of Woolpert and Optimal GEO, in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX).

For this project, WMR-532 collected topographic and bathymetric lidar, digital imagery and hyperspectral imagery data along the Puerto Rico coastline after Hurricane Maria hit the island in September 2017. The perishable data and imagery helped local, state and federal decision-makers assess immediate post-storm damage to aid in response, recovery and resilience efforts, and to help the island better prepare for and mitigate the impact of future storms.

Woolpert Geospatial Program Director Mike Meiser and Optimal GEO Chief Operating Officer Mark Brooks accepted the award on behalf of the firms.

“Woolpert and Optimal GEO are honored to support the great work of the USACE and JALBTCX by collecting this data, which has proved to be an invaluable tool in preparing for and recovering from natural disasters such as this,” Meiser said.

MAPPS is an organization of more than 100 private-sector firms that have thought leaders in geospatial fields that include mapping, surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, hydrography, and GPS and GIS data collection.

“The Hurricane Maria project was successful due to the combined efforts and capabilities of Woolpert and Optimal GEO in collaboration with JALBTCX personnel on the ground in Puerto Rico,” Brooks said. “We’re pleased that MAPPS recognized the entire team with the Grand Award.”

Seven New Tips For Getting Better Auto Insurance Rates


News Image

“Being a safe driver, having safety devices installed and making smart coverage changes will help you save money on car insurance,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Car insurance rates are determined after analyzing multiple factors, including car model, driving history and ZIP code. While some factors, like state legislation, are beyond driver’s control, other rating factors can be modified and bring the costs down. Find out how to get better premiums:


  • Use online car insurance quotes. Brokerage websites are recommended to complete car quotes. Make sure you complete the same information on all the questionnaires. After you received at least three car quotes, start analyzing them in order to find the most advantageous deal. Also, check all available discounts offered by each insurer.
  • Carefully adjust deductible levels for comprehensive and collision coverage. Deductibles are the money paid by the policyholder before the insurance policy kicks in. By raising deductibles, the policyholder will lower his premium rates. However, choose a deductible that can be easily paid.
  • Avoid committing traffic violations or accidents. A driver with a clean driving record for a number of years is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.
  • Buy a car considered to be safe to drive. Factors like the likelihood of theft, costs to repair and safety record, determine the price of the insurance rates. Safety and anti-theft devices also play a significant role in determining the premium of a vehicle. Safety ratings can be improved by adding aftermarket safety and anti-theft devices.
  • Keep a good credit score. Insurance companies calculate rates based on how good or bad is a person’s credit score. Drivers with bad credit scores will pay higher insurance rates. Improve credit score by using balance transfer credit cards of short term loans with a credit union.
  • Do not redundant or useless full coverage. If the car is worth less than ten times the premium, having full coverage may not be cost-effective. Auto dealers and banks can tell you how much your car is worth it.
  • Pay for the whole policy in advance. Drivers can save even 10 percent form their premium, by choosing to pay the whole insurance once. In that way, they will no longer pay monthly administrative fees.

easyMedicare.com Reminds People About the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period


“The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period is an extremely important time of year for people who are on a Medicare Advantage Plan,” says Anthony P. Solazzo, CEO of e-TeleQuote. “It can be critical for individuals who are enrolled in a plan that does not fit their needs.”

easyMedicare.com (https://www.easyMedicare.com), an affiliate of e-TeleQuote Insurance, Inc., released a new video containing information about the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period, also known as OEP.

The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period—which was initiated in 2019—provides an opportunity for individuals who are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) Plan to drop their plan or switch to a different Part C Plan. This enrollment period occurs from January 1, 2020, through March 31, 2020. Medicare beneficiaries can change plans only once during OEP, which differs from the Annual Election Period (October 15 through December 7 annually).

Consumers who consider dropping a Part C Plan without switching to a different Part C Plan during this period should know that doing so will not make them eligible for a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plan, although they may be able to qualify through medical underwriting. Individuals who drop a Medicare Advantage Plan will be returned to only Medicare Parts A and B, and will have an opportunity to enroll in a Part D Plan so they are not without prescription drug coverage.

“The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period is an extremely important time of year for people who are on a Medicare Advantage Plan,” says Anthony P. Solazzo, CEO of e-TeleQuote. “It can be critical for individuals who are enrolled in a plan that does not fit their needs. We want to ensure that beneficiaries are informed about their options and have the opportunity to make the choice that is best suited for them.”
