The problem with this scenario imo is who makes the judgement call on whether the driver should get the original transit time? If there was going to be a fine written into the contract, then there needs to be some specifics as to how the transit time is determined. Just allowing a set mph is...

Check your pms lately?

Actually not trying to tell authority anything. In fact I dont consider authority much on an internet forum. My comment was to the OP who makes it pretty obvious in 90% of his threads that he wants to debate the validity of regulations and regulatory bodies. But go ahead, debater #2? Call it...

Its equal to "really important customer". Spotlight just puts so much more spin on it though...lol. If I ever become a dispatcher, I'll be using that one.

All true...but....not so much an observation at Load1 as I havent been here long enough, but at other carriers it is amazing how a "check in" call to dispatch could be followed shortly by a load offer. Its happened a time or two here, but sometimes the timing is just coincidental.

I absolutely love "Spotlight Account".... somebody deserves a promotion for that one! Lol

These are actually pretty good points to be made at most carriers. Some will hold to the board position better than others...but make no mistake about it. If the load needs to get on a truck quick...and your the closest truck, you'll get that load. Many things go into getting a grip on this...

This one should be in the soapbox as well...obviously more about arguing political views than the discussion of expediter topics.

EXACTLY....and yet another thread started in the general forum aimed directly at starting a political debate.

Anybody heard from Chris? Curious as to how his night turned out.

Rich, I couldnt tell if you were claiming any kind of discount rate? Discounts for regular customers can be 80% or more. I got a quote from Fedex Ground once and they gave me 60% discount just for asking. It was kind of funny, somebody told me to ask for it. Sure enough, the lady I talked to was...

Mornin...was upstairs a minute ago. Brandon and Jeremy both were wearin the phones out, so there is freight movin. Lots of local stuff looked like, but other stuff too. Brandon woke me up askin about a load to LA area. Lots of miles but I was a little concerned about gettin back out. Turns out...

This is true. There are many times that a bit of information could be productive for all involved. Ive been poking and prodding on that a little bit with a certain person...lol. :D

Cool, thanks!

Nick, whats the limit for the free tows? 1 per year or ? That was enough to pay for a good portion of your premium. I need to give CIS a call myself. I have always liked Progressive insurance.

Sorry about the luck Chris. Sounds like a tow bill in the works? Im at the yard...looks like the bob-tails finally won out and took over the parking area where we usually sit. Out front is good on the weekends anyway.

Two of mine...the qcom just startin beepin...lol

Just realized the ring volume was about 50% on my phone. Explains the missed call this morning. I wonder if I could somehow get the phone ringer wired up to my "screaming meanie" alarm clock? That thing can wake up dead people and re-kill 'em.

Well...guess I missed a load this morning...never heard the phone ring. I ran a couple loads back to back yesterday and apparently was dead to the world when Caryn called. I thought there would be more to follow given the lack of trucks showing on the mac19. Oh well...may head to the yard...

I can see the reasoning behind it. It does seem to encourage spill over into the other forums though. I dont remember quite so many political discussions before the creation of the soapbox though. Im good with it. Now that this is in the soapbox...where it belongs...I'm done.
