Internet Truckstop Adds RMIS

Internet Truckstop said it has reached an agreement with Registry Monitoring Insurance Service to offer services such as tracking of carrier insurance data that can be used by the load-board operator’s customers.

The statement from Internet Truckstop, New Plymouth, Idaho, said that RMIS has more than 100,000 carriers in its database that can give information to brokers, shippers and freight forwarders about the insurance status of fleets offering their services through Internet Truckstop.

“RMIS is a company with a proven record in delivering quality service to the industry, and we are very pleased to be working with them to bring a package of new services to our members,” said Scott Moscrip, CEO of Internet Truckstop.

Beginning July 18, the load-board operator introduced a service that provides insurance monitoring as well as carrier performance, operating authority history, a directory of carriers and information about fleet records on the federal Compliance Safety Accountability program.

“Internet Truckstop is committed to delivering quality products to the transportation industry, and we are happy to be working with them to provide the insurance monitoring solution that is in such high demand from the transportation industry,” said Hayden Landon, president of RMIS.

Truck Stop Coupons app now on Android | Commercial Carrier ...

Randall-Reilly recently introduced its Truck Stop Coupons app on the Android platform. The free app, developed in conjunction with Salebug.com and ProMiles, already is in use daily by truckers with iPhones and Blackberries. Also new to the app are accurate real-time diesel fuel prices for 5,000-plus truckstop locations.

Many truckers also use the app as a truckstop directory powered by www.Truckstopguide.com, which is updated daily. The app provides a mapped route and directions to any of the 5,000 truckstop locations. Truckers also can use the app to locate truckstop services, from finding a Pegasus Transflo scanning location to where they can buy a particular brand of oil.

Using the app, truckers and other motorists also can locate and use coupons from truckstops across the country. Truckstops can update an unlimited number of coupons daily on the app’s parent site www.TruckStopCoupons.com.

“We initially launched the app to simply help truckstops communicate specials which were available to truckers as they traveled across the country,” says Robert Lake, Randall-Reilly senior vice president, acquisitions/ business development. “Now the app has become a daily business tool to help make truckers’ lives on the road easier.”

Another benefit of the app is that it enables fleets to communicate to their drivers the truckstops that are in their preferred fueling network, a feature that eliminates the hassle and expense of printing fuel directories that quickly become dated. Increased utilization of a negotiated fuel network means thousands of dollars to a trucking company’s bottom line.
