Monday, January 17, 2000 Adds New Free Services
Bloomfield, CT -- January 17, 2000 -- Mile.com, the pioneer portal site created solely for the trucking industry has reached an important "milestone". On January 5th, the site experienced its millionth hit, starting out the New Year with a new record. Since its launch in April, the site has enjoyed immense popularity, averaging 8,000 hits each day with user sessions from eleven countries around the globe.
"The industry's response to mile.com has been tremendous", says Prophesy President Edward J. Forman. "We set out to develop a site which would suit the needs of trucking companies of all sizes, from owner-operators to fleets running hundreds of trucks. We're pleased that industry players of all sizes have adopted mile.com as a daily resource for both information and to utilize powerful tools to better run their businesses."
Mile.com was the first trucking portal to offer free online commercial mileage and routing to its registered users. With this service, users can run trips on-line and e-mail routes to their drivers on the road. Prophesy recently added a new feature to the site that gives a trucking company the power of fuel purchase optimization software for free. The user actually can find out where the least expensive fuel is on a route. The on-line software also suggests where to purchase fuel and how much to purchase at each stop.
Mile.com was developed solely for the trucking and transportation community. The site is the most comprehensive transportation resource on the Internet, offering load matching, driver recruitment, truck and part sales, weather and road conditions, transportation news, and online directories of trucking and shipping companies, as well as computer hardware and software guides. "We will continue to add services of real value to the trucking industry in the future," adds Prophesy's Forman.
