I am afraid that my point may have been missed; While it is the responsibility of our carrier to provide us with freight, they still have no control of when a shipper will call them with a need. Expediting is a customer's LAST option. You can have ten trucks on a board a couple of miles from...

In response to how will they know when drivers change, etc... If you take your QualComm and push "Create Message" and then use the + and - keys, you will see a list of all available canned messages that you can scroll through. I imagine that these will become activated when the time comes. For...
