Is Tim Barton a hustler or what? While enjoying a night at this T-Bones game, freightquote.com's Chairman and CEO managed to pull off a major deal between innings on his cell phone and then hustle back to win the horsey race around the bases. Barton's Overland Park-based company is proof that the dotcom bubble was not all just hot air. Barton launched freightquote.com five years ago, in August 1998. The timing proved fortuitous for Ingram's four-year growth window and accounts for the company's eye-popping 5,675% increase in revenue. The firm's success is more than a number's game. It offers unique supply chain tools that link all the parties involved in producing and distributing a given product. Freightquote.com adds sufficient value that Forbes Magazine has listed it among their "Best of the Web" rankings for the past three consecutive years.
