Err ... this news sounded good ... but I guess the longs were expecting feedback at some stage on this segment of ECHO. I guess my question is .... why is there not a more upbeat response to the likely contracts from USPS ??. Is this an undiscovered gem .... or not. Opinions from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Stephen

In addition to generating rental contracts, tracking inventory and providing financial reconciliation between dealers and U-Haul corporate, the system provides full credit card processing capability. CBC has also designed and delivered money order dispensing devices under a pilot program with the U.S. Postal Service.
