Our History -
Transport Data Systems, Inc. was founded in 1987 in Brookings, South Dakota, by Dennis and Dotty Lucas. Serving the trucking industry has always been the primary focus of our company. We got our start over 20 years ago when the need for trucking software was great and options were few. Dotty’s background of growing up in a trucking family gave her good insight into the varied paperwork requirements and monumental volumes of data trucking companies handle. In order to design, service and support effective systems, it’s critical to understand the data that ‘drives the company’. Dotty has dedicated her entire professional career to the pursuit of software solutions that resolve the unique needs of the trucking industry. Dotty’s primary function in the company, besides being the company’s President, is to address new customer and industry requirements, thus improving the products and services we offer.
No company can function effectively, however, if it can't ‘get the word out’. Dennis Lucas, besides being Vice President, is the sales and marketing manager of Transport Data Systems. Dennis works hard to create new opportunities for our company and keeps our visibility up at the various state trucking associations we support – see our current membership listing at the bottom of our web page.
Dennis is also the primary contact for the Driver’s Daily Log and DDL iTruck Log Auditing Software programs. Dennis works diligently with DDL programmer, Fritz Bjorklund, as well as state and federal regulatory and enforcement agencies regarding the hours-of-service regulations and its impact on the trucking industry. Annual appearances at the national CVSA convention helps Dennis to keep in touch with both the carrier and enforcement perspectives regarding hours-of-service issues.
Since our company’s inception, the industry and the world have seen immense changes. Trucking volumes have never been higher and it continues to be every transportation company’s challenge to provide more and better services with limited office staff. We welcome the opportunity to serve your company. Contact us today for more information on our products and services.
