to have a laptop in their truck. Expedite Solutions realizes
not everyone is in a financial position to purchase their own laptop
prior to coming to training. Expedite Solutions has leased
laptops available to drivers (while supplies last) with no long term
contract. This enables drivers to “rent” a laptop with all
the necessary software and internet access already on the computer.
These laptops are not available to be purchased. Each of our laptops
have a wireless internet card built in and drivers will have unlimited
internet access paid for at all TA Travelcenters of America. In
addition to accessing HotShotTeam.com online, drivers can use the
laptop for tracking business performance with the Blue Print for
Success. Finally, Expedite Solutions recommends a simple mapping
software program call Streets and Trips from MicroSoft. This
mapping software with GPS antenna is provided on our laptops and
can be very useful in finding those hard to find locations.
