They differ in some important ways, so try them all out and see which one(s) you prefer - you just may end up with more than one in your cell phone. You also may want to try them all every so often just to see what's new! Grin! I prefer the ones that have operators to help when the automation doesn't recognize me, that get me ACCURATE information fast, and that also don't restrict me to only business searches - sometimes I need to find people, too! 1-800-YellowPages (800-935-5697) 1-800-2ChaCha (800-224-2242) 1-800-411-SAVE (800-411-7283) 1-800-555-Tell (800-555-8355) 1-800-Call-411 (800-225-5411) 1-800-Call-Dex (800-225-5339) 1-800-Free-411 (800-373-3411) 1-800-Goog-411 (800-466-4411) 1-800-Info-Fast (800-463-6327) 1-800-The-Info (800-843-4636) Just a little to add about what number to call for directory assistance/information: When it comes to free directory assistance, you have LOTS of choices.

Wishing your car a speedy recovery. Excellent advice doled out here. I do read often. I too get new insurance cards/info twice a year and I'm forever forgetting to change out the new card with the one that exists within the deep dark depths of my so-called wallet. With what little bit of my memory and mind slowly slipping and oozing out of that thing we call a brain, if I don't do things right away, they are forever lost in what could only be called "it used to be Carye's head'. I have to do it immediately...right now...write it down!....or I forget forever. I'm printing this little tidbit out and sticking it to my bathroom door. It's the door I seem to visit most often as of late. Maybe I'll remember to read it too! Glad to see that Mr. Ivy was not hurt during this minor incident. Wishing your car a speedy recovery.

Check and see if the driver of the truck that hit him had a D.O.T. number. In my state a truck pulling a trailer (depending on the weight) must be registered and have a DOT registration. This is very serious. My husband is a fleet compliance consultant and walks people thru the registration process, if you are required to have a DOT number and don't......there are serious fines involved.
