2008 Aggie 100 Honored

Texas A&M alumni has an annual "Aggie 100" list that lists the top 100 fastest-growing companies owned and operated by former Texas A and M students. The Internet Truckstop in New Plymouth and D&S Factors in Fruitland are among the firms selected for the fourth annual “Aggie 100” list.
The program is sponsored by Mays Business School’s Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship. Internet Truckstop was recognized as No. 82 on the list, while D&S Factors was recognized as No. 3 on the list.
The company, Internet Truckstop, provides more than 140,000 users across North America with access to the largest database of load and truck availability on the Internet.
In addition it provides the most comprehensive credit information on freight brokers and shippers as well as performance ratings for more than 40,000 trucking fleets. It also supplies freight rate index information and rate trending tools to more than 6,000 transportation companies.
Founded in 1995 by Texas A&M graduate Scott Moscrip, Internet Truckstop has risen to the position of market leader when it comes to transportation information services for the North American trucking industry.
“We are very excited to be recognized as an Aggie 100 company,” Moscrip said. “This is the second year in a row that we have been honored to be included as on of the fastest growing companies in America. Not only do we have Internet Truckstop on the list, our sister company, literally run by my sister, Diana Clover, D&S Factors, is also on this list.”
The 100 companies with the highest compound annual revenue growth from 2005 to 2007 were recognized at a formal luncheon at The Zone Club at Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field Oct. 31. The honorees are also featured in the November 2008 issue of Texas Aggie published by The Association of Former Students.
“Texas A&M is proud of making the Aggie 100 an annual event to celebrate Aggies who have gone on to create businesses that are thriving not only in the U.S., but also around the world,” Richard Scruggs, Director of the Mays Business School’s Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship, said.
Companies were required to meet the following criteria: In business for five years or more as of June 30, 2008; verifiable revenues of $100,000 or more for calendar year 2005, and operations consistent with the Aggie Code of Honor.
