CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Imagine being a dispatcher and not really knowing what is happening on the other end with your load deliveries? Or not being able to communicate with your truckers or get updates? Trucking Office understands this problem first-hand and has just released a solution with a new technological advance that connects truckers to dispatchers at every step.

Previously, TMS (Trucking Management Software) and ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices) worked separately. Thanks to TruckingOffice building integrative pieces to combine the two, these devices are now working synonymously.

Trucking companies can use TMS to manage details of dispatching, as an automated invoicing system, to track and manage expenses, and to produce accurate reports (such as IFTA, payments, invoices, and mileage reports). TruckingOffice’s TMS will also keep track of dispatch records, driver pay records, truck maintenance records and more. The TMS will also do all of the number crunching for you, saving you hours of work. TruckingOffice’s ELD is an easy-to-install app that works as a logbook and also talks to the VID. This ELD also has a dashboard, where a truck driver can change their duty status, add logs, certify logs, and send over seven days worth of logs to their dispatcher.

TruckingOffice’s combination of the TMS and ELD is a completely new, integrative approach to the world of trucking. Thanks to this duo, a trucking company can place all of the information that a driver needs into the software. The software will know which driver is taking the load and send all of the required information to the driver on their app. The driver can also use this app to write notes, handle billing, and take pictures that can be sent back to his or her trucking company. The trucking dispatcher will be able to track the haul and receive paperwork while the driver is on the go. This will allow the dispatcher to create an invoice sooner than usual due to the quick communication.

Nobody else has this unique feature. Trucking offices previously used a drastic amount of spreadsheets to maintain information that is compactly, neatly stored within TruckingOffice’s devices. «We have a great TMS and a great ELD. When you put the two of them together it’s unbeatable,» says Allen Campbell, CEO of TruckingOffice. When you take one of the best FMCSA compliant ELD systems and combine it with a fantastic TMS system, you have one of the best pieces of software in trucking history.

TruckingOffice offers this never-before-seen combination at an affordable price. Everything about the way you function as a trucking company changes for the better when you sign on with TruckingOffice.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Nick Cannon will appear Monday on the popular American Jewish Committee online program, AJC Advocacy Anywhere, for a candid conversation about antisemitism, racism, and Black-Jewish relations. The online series has attracted more than three million viewers worldwide since its inception in March. 

The live AJC program will take place at 2 pm (ET) on Monday, August 10. Register here in advance for AJC Advocacy Anywhere: A Conversation with Nick Cannon. It will be Cannon’s first appearance on a Jewish program.

The conversation with Cannon will be moderated by Rabbi Noam Marans, AJC Director of Interreligious and Intergroup Relations, who has met with the TV host and anchor in recent weeks.  

Cannon was sharply criticized last month after he expressed blatantly antisemitic sentiments on his podcast. ViacomCBS severed its longstanding relationship with Cannon. AJC at the time praised ViacomCBS for standing up to antisemitism.

«Antisemitism is not a Jewish problem. It is a societal problem that threatens all minorities, indeed all of American society,» said AJC CEO David Harris. «When someone influential uses a very public platform to attack Jews, he must be called out. Otherwise, antisemitism will continue to spread.»

Cannon, following widespread condemnations, including by basketball legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar, expressed interest in learning more about antisemitism and how to overcome it.

Cannon has apologized, tweeting that his comments «reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people, and I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naïve place that these words came from. The video of this interview has since been removed.»

For more than a century, AJC has been a pioneer in advancing civil rights, Black-Jewish relations, and combating antisemitism.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A melodious sound, danceable beats, and a deep meaning to catchy lyrics, Alien is the latest hit by up-and-coming talented artist Vivaswan from iTrap Records. The label’s second supremely skillful artist, this is his first release that’s launched a successful campaign that has brought the song to the top 50 world charts on Spotify with hundreds of thousands of plays.

A first generation American with Indian heritage, Vivaswan has understood the struggle for success with the American dream that immigrants strive through. The entire iTrap team is a group consisting of but not limited to immigrants pursuing their dreams to create a movement of unique, moving music with a message, including artist Indian Trap, animator and graphic designers Tejasvita Negi and Saviour Adu, and others. Alien delves into his own story of confidence and talent and pride in his own diverse individuality in the American music industry. Releasing during a time of change and embracing of diverse cultures, this release is aptly targeted to an audience ready for change in the political sphere, becoming hugely successful by encouraging all who find the song relatable.

The release of the song was followed by a well produced animated video that was the brainchild of Tejasvita Negi, the iTrap lead animator and designer, who has also been responsible for most of the visual push in this campaign as well as other successful ones with iTrap Records. She worked with the team to incorporate completely the depth of the song emphasising that this was her main objective for the lyrical video.

Q: How did Alien come about?
Vivaswan: I’m a first generation Indian American, my father has been an immigrant here, I understand the struggle that’s a base for so many people, been witness to and applied hustle-culture to make it big in this land. It’s just a song that emulates my ambition and success as an artist, and hopefully inspires others to always reach for their dreams, wherever they are from and whoever they are.

Q: Did you expect the success Alien has achieved?
Vivaswan: Alien is a really good record, and iTrap Records recognises good talent and supports its team really well. I knew there would be a great push with the Alien campaign, but it keeps growing and that’s a great realisation. It just means more and more people relate to this song and support our sentiments as we do theirs.

Q: What was the process behind the music video?
Tejasvita: I was very excited to work on the Alien music video. When I heard the song, I immediately started visualising it, coming up with boards, discussing the concept, working on production with Saviour Adu, revision, it was all an extremely smooth process. I work with a lot of clients but I think the success of this video was in each individual’s dedication to making the song a hit which is probably because a lot of members of the team are immigrants themselves and qualify as ‘alien’s here which I think created a deep rooted motivation for each of us.

Q: How do you feel about the successful launch of the campaign and lyrical video?
Tejasvita: It feels really good to have people enjoy something you’ve worked so tirelessly on for the entertainment and connecting with people, having them get your message, and to actually enjoy it – that’s the best feeling there is, because it equals progress, greater reach, and just encourages you to work harder. Seeing Alien reach top 50 world over on Spotify and have multiple plays and impressions created feels like an accomplishment.

Q: What’s your advice for new animators looking to enter the music industry and work on projects like this?
Tejasvita: My advice to a new-comer in the industry would be to really know what you enjoy doing and put in a hundred percent. If this is really your passion, you should automatically understand the need to consistently put in your all every day. Do not be intimidated by others’ progress – you focus on you. And most importantly: enjoy the process. Making it in the industry itself is a set of experiences you can be inspired from.

Q: What’s next?
Vivaswan: We have quite a few releases coming up. Check out the latest release, Shadows on any music platform and follow our team for the latest on what we’re coming up with next!
