A friend of mine, Ben, did what many of us dream about a few years back.
He was in middle management, deeply ensconced in a big accounting firm in downtown San Francisco. It paid great, but Ben hated the job: long hours, a ridiculous commute, tons of boring meetings, eating lunch at the desk every day. You know the routine.
But unlike so many of us, Ben took action. He regained his freedom.
He quit his job, cashed out some of his investments, moved to the country, and became an independent trucker.
He loves it. He loves chatting with other truckers, eating at greasy spoons, listening to talk radio all day, being his own boss… pretty much.
But he also hates it, sometimes. That's because Ben's "boss," such as it is, is a computer that tells him where to go, when to get there, when to pull over to fill up or for maintenance, even when to go to bed.
Yup. Like I tell you so often, every business is a tech business – even trucking.
A few years back, I showed you folks one way to cash in on tech's takeover of trucking by recommending FleetCor Technologies Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a commercial fleet-focused electronic payments company. And if you made that move, you're sitting on some pretty big gains – 135.8%.
FleetCor still has plenty of room to run – up to 20% in just the next 12 months.
But there's another trucking technology investment out there that I want to tell you about. And I need to tell you about it now – today.
An obscure billionaire took an eight-figure stake in a tiny tech firm that could see a 3,982% sales surge on Dec. 18. Strike now for a shot at becoming a millionaire this month. Learn more…
That's because at midnight on Dec. 18, a little-known federal mandate will go into effect across the United States.
It requires the immediate deployment of a cutting-edge technology for the trucking industry. It's "Ben's boss."
I call it an Augmented Digital Copilot – or ADC for short. (I can't tell you what Ben calls it.)
And just one tiny company has meticulously developed the technology to dominate this market. Only it can fulfill the immense and imminent demand for these devices.
This small, under-the-radar firm is on the verge of earning a big chunk of the $2 billion windfall that this federal mandate is creating.
That will send its stock soaring and make its investors a fortune.
Now, here's how you can "be like Ben" – and regain your own freedom…
Making All the Right Moves
Before I tell you about that opportunity, let's take another quick look at FleetCor. It's an investment I still like for the long haul.
With gas and diesel costing $2.45 per gallon and up, long-haul drivers are regularly shelling out $500 and more to fill up.
And the fleets of business and government vans, box trucks, and cars that clog our streets are spending millions of dollars on gas every day, too.
Tracking and controlling all this is unimaginably complex for the owners of these fleets. Further, the temptation for drivers (or gas station cashiers) to siphon off some of these billions for themselves must be enormous.
FleetCor is one of the best companies in this fleet and fuel management business. And it keeps getting better.
