Our billing processes have been automated through the use of document imaging technologies. Thoroughbred Direct has implemented a website that provides our customers with real time tracking of their loads. Incorporating Car Location Messages(CLM's), our customers receive the most up to date information on the status of their loads. The website can also provide after-delivery information, including EDI and imaged documents associated to a load. Automated, customized reports, via email or fax can also provide our customers with the current status of their loads
