aripen: You should continue to accept or decline Load Opportunity notices in the same manner as you now make your choices. This new method will be similar to a situation where, in the present method, you are having coffee with three other FCC, D truck drivers. The driver's phone across the table rings and he has a run offer that he declines, he tells you all about the offer and soon thereafter, the driver on your right gets the run offer call and he refuses the load after arguing price with the dispatcher for a few minutes. Not much time passes and the driver on your left get the call and he accepts the load. About 15 or more minutes has passed and the driver rushes off to make up some of the lost time. You didn't get the load but you know all about it and you're now happy that you moved up a spot. Your happiness soon turns to sorrow when you realize that driver left without paying for his coffee and sandwich, and you're stuck for his bill.

Under the new system, all four of you will get a recorded run message at the same time. You will each accept or decline in the same manner as now, and the same driver will still get the load. The big difference is you'll save money because everyone will have time to pay for their own meal ticket.
