Ford has taken all of this feedback into account with the new 2.0 MyFord Touch. Concerns and criticisms both large and small were turned into an innovative new MyFord Touch 2.0 system. Improvements include a more comprehensive menu design, fonts that are larger and easier to read, and increased dimension for the onscreen “buttons.” Response time and screen navigation have also improved.

This year’s winner, Logan Wasden of Lake Gibson High School, waited patiently in the 18th spot to try his key in the door. Arriving at the door he put the key in the lock, and to his astonishment it opened. Rendered speechless, Logan through his arms up in celebration as his family and onlookers congratulated him.

When asked what he thought about being so close to the end of the line he answered, “I thought – Oh no, I’m not going to get it.”

The Bartow Ford Drive for Excellence program was established to encourage excellence in education among Polk County Juniors and Seniors. For nearly two decades, this program has offered local students, who achieve A’s, B’s and perfect attendance, the chance to be drawn as a top qualifier for the opportunity to win a new Ford vehicle.

Benny Robles Sr., President of Bartow Ford, watched anxiously as each student entered their key into the lock of the Mustang. “The Drive for Excellence is always an exciting event at Bartow Ford,” stated Benny. “Congratulations to Logan and all of the other students, they worked really hard,” he continued.

Country Music Artist Michael Ray made an appearance, signing autographs and taking photos with the crowd, while WPCV raffled give-a-ways and updated listeners with event details.

“We have been giving a car away for 19 years, and we are planning to have a big celebration for our 20 year anniversary next year,” finished Benny.

The Drive for Excellence Event was sponsored by 97 Country WPCV and Deli Delicacies.

Miami, FL, May 17, 2012 –(PR.com)– Road America was named a Finalist in the Information Technology Department of the Year category in The 2012 American Business Awards, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

More than 3,000 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year, among others. Road America is nominated in the IT Department of the Year category for 2012.

The past year has proved to be an especially busy one for the Road America IT Department providing numerous innovative and challenging endeavors. In January of 2011, the Road America IT Department, in collaboration with ATT, launched a pilot test of LocateMe™, which uses ATT’s Phone Locator Service to pinpoint the addresses where calls originate. Applicable on both land and wireless lines across all major U.S. carriers, including ATT, Verizon, Sprint, and Metro PCS, and now fully operational, LocateMe™ can locate over 90% of the Road America customer base. In the summer of 2011, ATT published a case study to highlight the shared success of this project.

“Being a finalist for this award is a wonderful compliment. Our staff has worked tirelessly this past year and this nomination is a testament to their unmatched innovation and dedication.”
- Enrique Santos | Director of Information Technologies at Road America

In 2011, following the success of LocateMe, the Road America IT Department started developing a wireless roadside assistance application for simultaneous launch across all major smart phone platforms using the same source code. Their IT Department knew an effective app would allow customers to directly request service without contacting call-center agents. Research and development took three months and a very talented team of programmers using a RHODES framework and RUBY programming language, both of which were new to the programming team. Using Rapid Application Development (RAD) techniques the team developed Drive On™ and, by the fall of 2011, the app became available in web stores for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.

“I couldn’t be more proud of what our IT Department has accomplished in the past year. Being nominated as a finalist for an ABA Award exemplifies our dedication to extending unparalleled care to each and every one of Road America’s clients.”
- Dennis

Waukesha, WI, May 17, 2012 –(PR.com)– Waukesha based DUECO, Inc., the largest privately owned provider of Terex Hi-Ranger bucket trucks and Terex Telelect digger derricks in the country, can extend the life of equipment by marrying up a new or gently used chassis with a new or gently used attachment. Such transfers, performed by DUECO expert service teams across the country, can provide savings of 35-40% over buying new and are ideal when:

· A tower has relatively low hours of utilization on a high mileage chassis that has become expensive to maintain or is past its useful life.

· A chassis is in good shape, but the tower has become expensive to maintain.

With today’s tight budgets and pressure to maximize the utilization of every piece of equipment, transferring or retrofitting equipment from one vehicle to another is more viable than ever. DUECO can help prolong digger derrick or bucket truck life cycle while also upgrading to newer technology at a fraction of the cost compared to purchasing a new unit.

DUECO can transfer a used or new tower to a used or new chassis. It can also source an aerial, derrick or chassis, and add new features like LED lighting to improve equipment productivity and operator safety. DUECO’s experienced, factory trained and Fluid Power Certified technicians perform all transfers using OEM parts.

DUECO Inc. President, Judie Taylor commented, “Our team has a passion for taking care of customers to Make A Difference in their operations. A ‘Transfer’ can truly make an immediate difference for a customer, bringing greater productivity to the fleet and extending the usefulness of the equipment investment, while reducing maintenance costs associated with older, worn equipment.”

For more information on the specifics of Transfers, please see http://dueco.com/service-and-training/service/transfers.html or contact your DUECO representative today.
