    Dear Reader,

    My name is Wieu Kuot, and I am a senior political science and pre-law student at Spring Hill College. I'm writing on behalf of a class research project I'm working on for an innovative app tentatively called MechanicMe, which promises to change the way trucking companies interact with dependable and efficient mechanical service providers.

    As part of this project, I am gathering thoughts from respected trucking industry professionals in order to better understand the pain areas and unique demands that occur while seeking and engaging with automotive repair providers. Helpful feedback from industry experts is critical in assisting me in shaping MechanicMe to properly meet the unique needs of the trucking industry.

    Survey Participation

    All responses will be anonymous and fully confidential and used solely for my project research purposes. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me at [email protected]. I eagerly await your participation and gratefully appreciate your valuable contribution in advance.

    Sincerely,

    Wieu Kuot

    Let me get off the floor, and find my behind, because it has appeared to have fallen off, due to my hysterical laughter.

    It's called "An Internet search" or "Contacts in my phone search".

    Get back to me when you've experienced your brakes locking up on the side of a mountain, when the sun is setting, and you didn't happen to pack that size of air line or fitting. My brain doesn't immediately search for an 'app'.

    Wait - I'm down for the count now. Please send a "Dependable and Efficient Buttock replacement team" to me. As I was rolling on the ground, I seem to have lost this valuable asset.

    That's where his IP is registered also. I think he's legit. He just has no idea what he's asking.

    Neither do I.

    Nor the guy with some assorted tires and wheels next to a service truck outside of Burns, OR that I need to get a hold of to deal with a blowout.
     
    Oxbow, JoeyJunk, InTooDeep and 3 others Thank this.

    I'm afraid this app would have a limited user base, since most large and medium-sized carriers handle breakdowns in-house using contracted service providers on national accounts.

    But I can see where this might be handy for an O/O or an independent.
