Interstate Distributer Co. Keeps the Show on the Road with AMD FirePro™ 

From modest beginnings as a one-man, one-truck operation back in 1933, Interstate Distributor Co. has grown through seven decades to become one of North America’s most successful trucking companies.
Today, with a team of 3,000 drivers, independent contractors and employees, the Tacoma, Washington-based company stays ahead of the competition by using state-of-the-art technology that includes AMD’s FireMV™ 2200 multi-view 2D workstation acceleration cards.

Relying on AMD products, says Bob Short, Interstate’s senior network administrator, is in keeping with the company’s philosophy of using only the most-advanced tools – whether computer technology, communications systems or satellite tracking - to keep its growing truck fleet rolling and on time.

“We are constantly innovating and looking for ways to gain any advantage we can in an extremely competitive industry,” says Short from his Tacoma office. “In this business, every edge we gain can make a difference in the marketplace and with AMD’s FireMV, we are seeing real gains in productivity and accuracy.”
