Why was the post that was started about DVA moved to the FedEx forum? Not everyone can post in the FedEx Custom Critical forum. That makes no sense. It wasn't putting FedEx down at all. DVA is a GREAT system as I said before.

Since I can't post in the FedEx forum I will post my thoughts here. Being with FedEx Custom Critical for almost 14 years I can say that DVA is a really good system if you understand how it works. DVA is based on 20 different things that makes the choice on what truck gets offered the load. Dwell...

Would you go to a Truck Stop if it was for Expediters and RV's? This small Truck Stop would have a Dinner, Showers, Tv room, drivers room to chat in, a store, a Shop, and Fuel Island. I would like drivers thoughts on this. Lets say it's in Lodi at exit 209 of 71. Would you stop there?
