description When a trucking fleet grows from 15 to 150 vehicles within 10 years, chances are it is going to need to make use of some powerful information technology tools in order to get a handle on paper work and productivity. Such as the experience of Sunset Transportation, a local delivery service of sand, rock and aggregate material to cement and concrete manufacturers in Fort Worth and San Antonio. Sunset's 2 terminals and all of its company trucks and drivers now have implemented the OpCenter and PositionPlus systems from Xata Corp. OpCenter automates DOT logs, state fuel records and the dispatch function, while PositionPlus provides satellite position tagging.
