| Water. Don't you love rushing water? I head to Alaska tomorrow, I am sure I will see a great deal of water, crisp and clean. I am also confident that I will see much more that is still frozen in glaciers and fjords along the way. Traveling through Tracy Arm to Skagway, Ketchikan and Juneau I am completing yet another checkmark on my all too long bucket list. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and I am sure my camera will be chock full of some wonderful memories. | In This Issue |

Logan Travel We all know how much it costs to park for a day at Logan. Enough to board 2 dogs and a cat at most any pet hotel. Enough to So what is the alternative? A nifty service available in Boston, along with cities all around the country called parksleepfly.com allows you to book a hotel and arrange for onsite parking free for up to 14-days. Not a bad deal. Here are the gotcha's.
In the end, you are far better off arranging your reservation and auto-parking with the hotel directly. This is an example of a great idea poorly executed.

Inbound Marketing You have heard the term and may understand it. But it is a tricky subject. You may want to consider looking at Hubspot for a refreshing look at the possibilities of marketing in a different way. Hubspot is really intelligent marketing software that assists companies in generating leads. They specialize in inbound marketing - the kind of marketing that brings prospects to your door. It works through the use of software built into your website, blog or social media designed to help you identify people that are interested in what you do. Inbound marketing is based on the concept of not interupting the prospect. Instead you gain permission from the prospect to connect with them on their terms. If a visitor to your web site completes an "I want more information form", they give you permission to connect with them in some way. The trick is to entice your visitors to sign up for something. How do you do that? It is different for all of us and you may need some help to find the right strategy. It may take an objective look at what you do, how you do it and what your customers think about you. Companies like Leading Results, Inc. and Innovative Marketing Resources can help you find the best way to bring prospects to your door.

DOT Proposes Simplified Paperwork The DOT reported that U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx today announced a proposal to eliminate a burdensome daily paperwork requirement for professional truck drivers that will reduce costs to the industry by an estimated $1.7 billion annually while still maintaining the Department's high safety standards. Current federal regulations require commercial truck drivers to conduct pre- and post-trip equipment inspections and file Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs) after each inspection, regardless of whether or not an issue requiring repairs is identified. DVIRs are the 19th-highest paperwork burden, based on the number of hours needed to comply, imposed across all federal agencies and only 5 percent of reports filed include defects. Under the proposed change announced August 1st, commercial truck drivers would continue conducting pre- and post-trip inspections. However, DVIRs would be required only if defects or deficiencies were discovered by or reported to the driver during the day's operations. See more about the proposed rulemaking here.
