The Truck Locator (TL) system is designed to get the news out about trucks, revealing these vehicles to more customers than ever, therefore increasing the volumes sold. TL provides a secure environment into which users can add as much information as a prospective customer needs, including a picture. Furthermore, users can receive reports from the TL regarding transactions on the on-line tool, including but not limited to sales. Meanwhile, this information is captured and provides the National Used Truck Manager monthly information on selling prices of trucks.
