The ProMiles Team
Tony Stroncheck
Founder, Owner, Co-President and Chairman
Tony began his career in the transportation Industry in 1989 working for Owens & Associates, where he wrote thousands of tariffs which were filed with the Texas Railroad Commission, Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), and more. By 1991, Tony purchased a fuel tax reporting software from his long-time friend, and now partner, Mr. Tim Pilcher.
In the over 30 years since the partnership began, ProMiles has filed thousands of operating authorities and permits, created the industry’s first online mileage guide, developed pioneering OS/OW custom automated permitting and routing systems, as well as software for fuel optimization, and auditing and reporting for the purposes of IFTA, IRP, Mile Tax and other compliance requirements.
Since its inception, Tony Stroncheck has sought to position ProMiles as the industry’s Regulatory Compliance Technology Leader, by developing the next generation of first-in-class solutions which advance harmonization, roadway safety, infrastructure integrity and efficiencies, benefiting all industry stakeholders.

Under Tim’s leadership, ProMiles has designed and implemented OS/OW Permitting and Routing custom technology for more than 20 states, increasing the average self-issue rate for these states to 73%, with a volume of over 3.2 million permits issued nationwide in 2023.
