Atlas Van Lines and Direct Systems have worked closely together for many years to bring Van Line specific software to their agents. We are now pleased to announce the release of the new Pre Rating View (PRV) module to work in conjunction with other Atlas - specific software (Shipment Registration, Customer Service/Dispatch, Statement Reconciliation, etc.). The end result: true SINGLE ENTRY functionality.

Hi Howard,

Regarding Peggy, Linda, Sean, and your team. I can only imagine their thoughts when I called on my first day (1986) and said I needed help but didn't even know how to turn the machine on. Boy, we've come a long way! It's all thanks to your company and team who helped me through it.

It makes my job much easier, and I feel confident knowing your team will take prompt, excellent care of us.

I hope the remainder of your week is great. Take care!
