Internet Truckstop is making it easier for users to manage available freight and trucks by literally conducting business at their fingertips with the launch of ITEX Instant Messaging service. Internet Truckstop allows members instant access to business opportunities using a simple text message on the Internet Truckstop website.

ITEX is available at no additional charge to Internet Truckstop members. Once logged in to www.truckstop.com with their handle/name, users can begin sending messages to other on-line users to discuss availability of trucks and freight. The handle/name allows conversation directly between two users, and the electronic nature of the system allows a single user to have multiple conversations at one time.
