Happy New Year! A new year symbolizes new possibilities and we're excited about what 2008 has in store. 2007 was a year of innovations to help us better serve you. Read on for a quick recap of the "Best DL innovations of 2007", some exciting news for 2008, and who could forget the Superbowl!?

Ok, maybe we’re letting the football fever get to us, but we’re really excited that it’s only a few weeks into 2008 and already we have something new for you.

One of the things we feel sets us apart from the rest of the pack is our constant focus on improving our services – while interacting with you, our clients, we’re making changes and updates based on your feedback keeping DirtLogic on the cutting edge of technology.

SoÖwe're proud to announce our completely new take-off report - from the very first page you can see the difference. It's designed to give you easy at-a-glance information about your job with all the relevant calculations and layouts right at your fingertips. We've identified areas that may have had potential for confusion in the past and simplified them . Now in just a few minutes everyone on your team can be up to speed with our super streamlined report.

Take a look - we've placed it side by side the old take-off report so you can see the difference. It's just another way that we're keeping our promise to "Take the guesswork out of dirtwork."

Here's a short list of where you can find Matt Gebarowski and the DL team in the month of February.

National Utility Contractors Association:

February:

· 7th - Board Meeting

· 19th - General Meeting - Engineers Night

If you aren't planning to already please seriously consider attending this month's NUCA general meeting. This association is designed specifically with the excavation industry in mind and "Engineers' Night" is one of the best attended events of the year. To make reservations (which you'll need) contact Melinda Dailey of NUCA (503) 742-8877 nucaorswwa@aol.com

Also, coming up in March we'll be attending Conexpo in Vegas. If you're going too, let us know and maybe we can hit the tables together!

Calling all clients! Get your game face on and sign up for our first ever Superbowl pool – the DirtBowl! There’s no half-time show in the DirtBowl, but it’s fun and you can win prizes! It’s free to play, of course, and there will be one lucky winner who will receive $100 off their next job with DirtLogic AND a $50 Visa gift certificate. We’ll be using a cool betting chart designed by two of our talented team members - Mike Navarre and Andrew Iverson.

How to play? It’s easy! Visit the link below to access DirtLogic’s Superbowl Sports Grid. We’ve put numbers zero through nine along the chart both vertically and horizontally. The numbers represent the last digit of each team’s final score. Enter your name in a box, and if the score matches up, you win! (For example, if the final score is 41 to 47 and you’ve entered your name that matches up with 1 and 7, you’re the winner!)
