Hey, just off the phone with our David with the Cervell Group regarding LBWR. He told me about this article:
hispanicbusiness.com
September 2001
By Frank McCoy, HISPANIC BUSINESS® magazine
Small minority businesses weigh the advantages and the adjustment costs of global free trade.
Arturo Volpe supports global free trade – up to a point. The CEO of Pan American Express, a trucking company in Laredo, Texas, knows from experience how opportunities open up when nations lower their tariffs and trade restrictions. But when it comes to allowing Mexican trucks full access to U.S. roads, he thinks free trade has overextended itself.
Pan American Express faces a situation familiar to many Hispanic companies. With a location near the border and annual revenues of $23.68 million (ranking 172 on the HISPANIC BUSINESS 500), the company has strategic advantages to help it compete in a binational economy. In a global trade milieu dominated by large multinational corporations, however, such small firms often lack the capital or other resources to absorb sudden changes, such as the Mexican trucking regulations.
So, they were doing 23.68 million in 2001....can only guess they are doing even better now....at any rate, a real company in which Labwire is doing both the drug screening AND the background checks....exactly what we wanted.
Also, and more importantly, David said that Labwire is now in a "concerted effort" to release news in a timely manner, in order to have the maximum effect on the pps. Sounds like more to come in the near future. Sweet!
