So, if they (the big guys) know this and buy into this concept; continually look to improve this technology and adopt this across all their branches, divisions and networks, why haven't you? ese are the common "excuses" (reasons) that we hear from business owners over and over as to why they can't play like the big guys and they instead choose to continue to run their businesses like a shoestring startup in their parents basements!

MYTH #3 - IT'S JUST TOO DIFFICULT TO START SOMETHING NEW Understand something (and this is important): Once you start using anything new, it's slightly challenging but once you get past that, the benefits far outweigh the challenge in starting something new. e detailed reports, the easy to manage dispatch board, the integration for posting to Truckstop.com, the control that you will have over all your staff and much much more. Just like those big companies, you just need to jump in and make the commitment to start and the rest will come easily.
