Q&A with Kathryn Schifferle, CEO of Work Truck Solutions
We interview Kathryn Schifferle, CEO of Work Truck Solutions, the first online commercial vehicle inventory solution that enables commercial dealerships to display and search truck inventory by chassis and body type.
This creates a simplified process for finding, quoting and floor planning work trucks. Kathryn says, "...when a fleet buyer comes to the dealer’s website, they can actually look through images and spec information and see what is available, so they are better prepared and educated when they walk through the dealership’s doors. There are spec sheets attached, there are video walk-throughs -- buyers can reach out directly and have a conversation with the dealer. Electronically they can even indicate the stock number, so the dealer will know the specific inventory with which the buyer is interested. It is really a time saver."
Google Self-Driving Car Pulled Over in California for Being too Slow
It's a pet peeve for many drivers and a source of much road rage -- traffic slows to an agonizing crawl due to one slow vehicle in the front. In the case of one routine stop made by the Mountain View, California Police Department, no ticket was required since a car traveling 24 mph in a 35 mph zone had no driver.
On Thursday, a police officer stopped a Google Autonomous Vehicle, one of the tech company's self-driving cars, according to a post on the police department's blog.
