Monday, September 20, 1999 Bloomfield, CT - September 20, 1999 -- eProphesy, the revolutionary all-inclusive and free portal site for the transportation industry, is now mile.com. Still the quickest online gateway to all trucking-related sites, information, and services, mile.com is the most comprehensive transportation resource on the Internet. The name was shortened to Mile.com to enable users to locate the site more easily. It has been created with a single goal: to aid the trucking industry. Helping companies and owner-operators avoid deadhead miles, the new site offers direct access to the 20 best online load matching services for quick searching or posting at one (or all!) of them.
Keeping visitors up-to-date, our site connects its users to the latest news from Heavy Duty Trucking, RoadStar, Overdrive, Fleet Owner, Transportation Technology Today, Transportation & Distribution, and many other industry publications.
Mile.com provides real-time updates on road conditions, weather, diesel prices, trucking company stock quotes, computer software, and Internet services. The site also maintains an active database of job postings, linking quality drivers with companies that are actively recruiting.
The website is the first of its kind; a portal site such as Yahoo, Lycos, or Excite for the trucking industry, offering users access to all of the above mentioned trucking-related services from a single web page.
Avoiding slow-loading graphics, and focusing on useful information, links, and services; Mile.com organizes services, information, and links into an easy to use, comprehensive directory with customization for drivers, dispatchers, MIS personnel, and owner-operators.
According to Edward J. Forman, the CEO of Prophesy Transportation Software, "Mile.com is truly an innovation for the transportation industry. It is the preeminent site, the one-stop source for services that a typical trucking company will benefit from on a daily basis, and best of all it's absolutely free."
Future development plans for the site include services such as free email accounts and bulletin boards, as well as web design and hosting. Also, frequent users will be able to personalize Mile.com to suit their specific needs, with customized stock quotes, weather, and news appearing on the home page in a fashion similar to My Excite or My Yahoo. The site currently hosts a wide array of pertinent links, in coming months, the Mile.com will feature these services produced by Prophesy Transportation Software.
"We already have the most useful transportation site in Mile.com, but we are also enhancing and improving it daily. We expect that our efforts will help speed the technical revolution that is occurring in over-the-road transportation," said Forman.
