Internet Truckstop is making it easier for customers to manage available freight and trucks by literally conducting business at their fingertips with the launch of Internet Truckstop's ITEX Instant Messaging service. A load board industry first, Internet Truckstop allows members instant access to business opportunities using a simple text message on the Internet Truckstop website.' 'We developed ITEX using feedback we heard from our members who want to communicate faster, book freight faster and find available trucks more effectively. ITEX adds a convenience and immediacy of sending and receiving text messages directly to individuals using the Internet Truckstop system allowing them to negotiate without ever picking up a phone,' said Leigh Foxall, Director of Freight Matching.
ITEX is now available at no additional charge to Internet Truckstop members. Once logged in to truckstop.com with their unique handle/name, users can begin sending messages to other on-line users to discuss availability of trucks and freight. The unique handle/name allows the conversation directly between two users and the electronic nature of the system allows a single user to have multiple conversations at one time----far easier than juggling several phone calls at once.
ITEX is the latest in a growing list of innovations and decision support tools that Internet Truckstop is making available to members on the new ITS2 website.' ITEX is just another example of Internet Truckstops commitments to improving the ITS2 website and providing decision support tools that are not found on other load boards in the transportation industry.
