One of our goals at TravelCenters of America is to make sure we're providing you with what you need to make your job easier and improve your life on the road. Each year, we're approached by thousands of vendors who want the chance to put their products and services in front of the hundreds of thousands of drivers that pass through TAs' doors. We carefully choose which of these offerings are most useful to drivers, and are proud to announce recent partnerships with these companies:

• Western Union, to provide money transfers;
• Interstate Connections, which offers wireless products;
• Everything Prepaid;
• TripPak Scanning, a service to scan and electronically deliver important expense documents, driver logs and trip records;
• Wi-Fi, or high-speed wireless Internet access, now being tested at Monroe, Mich. This free network allows drivers to use their laptop computers without plugging in, and we expect to roll it out at future locations in the coming year.

These are just a sample of the new and exciting offerings you'll find the next time you walk into a TA. If there's something you'd like that you can't find on the road, e-mail me at edkuhn@roadking.com, or write me at Road King, 28 White Bridge Road, Suite 209, Nashville, Tenn., 37205.
