Back in 1983 I was chatting with Dick Coleman, publisher of Traffic World magazine, when he unexpectedly proposed that I write a column for the magazine on computer applications in the transportation/physical distribution industry. "But, Dick, I dont know all that much about computers," I protested. "You use one, dont you?" he asked logically. Yes, I did Id been running my consulting business with it for two years. But that didnt, I explained, make me an expert. "Think about it," he said. Thats typical Coleman he drops these studiedly casual ideas and just lets them lay there until you pick them up and wind up doing just what he wanted you to do all along. Sure enough, the longer I pondered the notion the more it appealed to me. OK, I wasnt a computer expert (Im still not). But I was a computer user, in the transportation/distribution field maybe from that perspective I might have some useful things to say to other transportation/distribution users and wouldbe users of computers. Thus was born the "Computer Software for Transportation" column. The first one appeared in the April 11, 1983, issue of Traffic World, and its been a onceamonth schedule ever since. And thus, too, was ultimately born this book.
