Wednesday, March 01, 2000 Bloomfield, CT -- March 1, 2000 -- Mile.com, the dynamic trucking portal site powered by Prophesy Transportation Software, recently experienced 1.4 million hits in a six week time period. The site was launched in May of 1999 and logged its first million hits over a period of eight months, culminating on January 5th of 2000. In the past six weeks, the site has logged an additional 1.4 million hits, a phenomenal growth surge for the site. The popularity of the site has grown largely due to the advanced mileage, routing, and fuel optimization functions offered free of charge to registered mile.com users.
With these services, users can run trips on-line and e-mail routes to their drivers on the road. Combined with this function is the ability to find out where the least expensive fuel is on the route. The on-line software also suggests where to purchase fuel and how much to purchase at each stop. Mile.com was developed exclusively 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 have invested heavily in the construction of the mile.com site," says Prophesy President Edward J. Forman. "We are pleased with the evolution of the site, and anticipate more rapid growth in the coming months as we continue to add useful services."
