a start-up operation, Harris Transport Company can turn
those dreams into reality. We can turn those dreams into
reality by providing the financial assistance through weekly

under a service contract where no per diem is due and payable,
as opposed to normal per diem.
In addition, Maintenance and Repair invoices
received from ocean carriers or their third party billing agent
with no copy of an invoice from a repair vendor verifying that
the billing for the actual cost of the
"Repairs" and not for "Alleged" damages.
Our Credit Department understands the need for a timely response
to a credit request for a new customer that the agent wants to
conduct business with.
We provide customized software to our Agents,
which not only allows you to produce freight Bills and Bills of
Lading, It can also be a management tool for the Agent.

of lading number, truck number, etc, etc. Agents
can also forecast truck revenue as well as truck pay or produce
sales reports for any period of time that reflect total sales,
