CHERRY HILL, NJ, June 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) AmeriQuest Transportation Services in Cherry Hill was recognized as the 14th fastest-growing company in South Jersey by the Philadelphia Business Journal at its South Jersey Summit awards ceremony in Cinnaminson, NJ. This is the 9th time that AmeriQuest has been named to the South Jersey list since the awards' inception 17 years ago.
The South Jersey Summit recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Ocean, Cumberland, and Cape May counties. Nominees for the award were ranked by researchers of Rowan University's William G. Rohrer College of Business according to percentage increase in sales from 2009 to 2011. AmeriQuest Transportation Services - which provides consultative services to companies that own, operate, or outsource trucking and logistics operations in the U.S. and Canada - posted 2011 revenues in excess of $500 million. That is up from approximately $400 million in 2010.

Today we serve more than 1,500 private fleets and truckload carriers that run 700,000 vehicles."

Buying life experiences to impress others removes happiness boost
2012-06-19

Owing money to the IRS is not only stressful, it can also be debilitating. Take the case of Lionel (Pompano Beach, FL) who came to the offices of Blue Tax with such high IRS balances that the State had taken away his livelihood by suspending his real estate license.
Lionel had tax liabilities for tax years 2005, 2006 and 2008. There were no balances owed in 2007 or after 2008. Lionel is a real estate agent so when the government suspended his license due to his extensive unpaid back taxes, he was really stuck in a difficult spot. With the economic downturn, Lionel's ...
