Direct Payment became available to Trucking Online users on March 10 at 10:13 a.m. and within minutes motor carriers started signing up for it. "It's encouraging to see how many customers are choosing this payment option," said Motor Carrier Services Manager Ric Listella. "Our goal is to make it the preferred way to pay for online transactions so we can reduce credit card transaction fees and keep taxpayer dollars in the Highway Fund for use on our roads and bridges."
