There's a lot of real-time or as-it-happens data that we can get and incorporate into supply chain management.

This concept proved to be the foundation of such success as Alcoholics Anonymous has since achieved.

Users need to be more skeptical, and ask themselves whether everything they are told by email can be believed.

We are fortunate to have such a dedicated board that will work diligently to capitalize on the many exciting opportunities TransPORT has on the horizon in the coming year.

We will also continue to focus on productivity improvements, asset management, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.
