    Hey everyone. Hoping everything is going just fine for you all!

    I'm currently an entrepreneur starting a technology company to help truckers save costs and make more money. Im specifically looking to build a mobile app (free) to help truckers to manage logistics much more easily with shippers (something much better than McLeod / qualcomm combinations).

    Of course, I had to come to the form to chat with you guys! Looking to get your insight on the idea and how I could be helpful to you as I build out the app. I'm not looking for partnerships, not trying to sell things or anything like that. I solely would love to get your insights about the merits of the idea. I'd also love to hear about your thoughts on the system as it exists today (e.g. McLeod, Qualcomm, etc). The pluses and minuses.



    Let me know if any of you are up for a quick chat! Would love to get on the phone / email some of you.

    Really appreciate it.

    Entrepreneur's are the back bone of this country so, thank you for coming here.. I will have to ponder your question for a little while but, I will be back and I am sure there will be more comedian's and others to grace this thread.

    I haven't used any truck management systems that you mentioned... but how about an app that would:
    record time and gps location
    display data on a map
    easily send record(s) by email or display on web page
    also allow for real time display to a web page
    capture signatures with time and gps location for evidence of who, where, and when

    The above would be real time load tracking plus a log of that history along with evidence of times and locations of signature capture for time stamps.
