Skip, I was talking to an executive from a large trucking firm last night and he was explaining to me that they are looking at the prospects and benefits of putting a GPS sensor in each trailer to show it's location (I wonder how they will power the unit if it is not connected to a tractor?). They already use satellite communication and positioning for the tractors. His concern now is that they can't keep track of the thousands of trailers that are spread aroound the country. This seems like it could be an extremely large market especially if you throw in seatainers, boxcars and the myriad of other shipping vessels that are in use. How would this affect TRMB's business, could they potentially get a piece of this pie? Or for that matter does the potential to do this even exist? I have followed this thread for a couple of years now and enjoy the great analysis and conversation of everyone. I think TRMB has great future potential, from my perspective, and have a sizable position in the stock. jamse
