I read somewhere here that this system would give trucks an opportunity to select a load if we wanted to go a certain way...I think that this would be very hard, if not nearly impossible to do, when a load opportunity is going out to one to five express centers. At best, even if they dispatch it only to the #1 truck in each of these express centers...how is it determined which #1 truck gets it? If it selects by the truck that is closer, WHY in world are they sending it to #1 trucks in all the other express centers when they will not even get the load?!
