Surfing Fleetxchange
www.fleetxchange.com.
The initial screen offers four tabs labeled Home, InfoXchange, Rate/Review and Purchasing Programs.
Home is the page you're looking at. InfoXchange offers trucking news headlines. Rate/Review provides user-submitted reviews of fleet products and services. Purchasing Programs, or course, is the purchasing entrance for procurement members.
The tier below the tabs, labeled Channels, lists these general fleet topics: Logisitics, Tires, Government & Legislation, Safety & Security and Technology. Click on any one for headlines and discussion threads on that topic.
Click on any particular item under any topic, say a news headline, and you will be prompted to register. There is no cost involved in registration.
In the lower left corner of every FleetXchange screen you'll find a small, rectangular box labeled FX Communities. You can click through to each of the three color-coded online sites, red for FleetXchange, green for FoodFleetXchange and blue for CarrierFleetXchange.
All three share much of the content, but each is edited for its intended audience.
You can reach the specialty FleetXchange sites directly using the URLs: www.foodfleetxchange.com and www.carrierfleetxchange.com.
