Instead of calling around looking for a suitable haulier with a vehicle to carry its goods, a company will be able to make one call to TeleTruck, which will use its listings of operators to provide a vehicle.
The Tele-Truck system is currently based on ITV's Oracle teletext service. Normally a company buys its own teletext TV and uses the listings free of charge, although a fee is levied on hauliers who appear in the listings.
Tele-Truck managing director David Burns says the trial offer "will bring the benefits of Tele-Truck to every transport buyer in the manufacturing sector. One phone call to us and their transport problems can be solved. Although there are 4.5 million Teletext sets in operation, some companies wish to test the service prior to acquiring a television."
The Tele-Truck listings are updated every hour and are shown for 15 hours per day. For further details contact Tele-Truck on (0536) 205545.
