    You can try local companies also.

    I found a local company that was a lower price than Safelite.

    Call around and get prices.

    Safelite does do CMV windshields as stated. However, it's been my experience, they use cheap glass.

    I bought a truck with a really good windshield. Very minimal pitting and no cracks. 3 years later, still very little pitting and no cracks until I got popped with a golf ball sized rock. Safelite replaced it. And did a pretty decent job I suppose. But, 8 months later, this new glass looked like it had seen 500,000 miles in the desert.

    In the future, I'll pay for better glass. Even if it costs twice as much.

    SafeLite will work if you can wait three days from them to get it...

    You would think NY would have it but...

    My company had my Volvo vn670 windshield replaced last Monday at Dakotaland autoglass in Sioux Falls, SD. I saw the invoice and it was only $200 and $14.50 labor. I thought that was a good price.
