Turtle you are dead on! That is very similar to a conversation I had with the owner of Expediter Services. The information he compiled and had available was great, but if you didn't have the other half of the equation the value was not much. For example if a driver delivers into Butte Montana...

Sylectus is a great tool. But so is a fax machine or a phone. Neither will ring or really work with out building a relationship. Sylectus is not really a load board. It is a dispatch software. It automates the process of brokering loads between users. We still broker thousands of loads a year...

Exactly. But the ticket is not over obsessing the data. Some carriers do not update real time. While others only run local or only run Canada. So what you see may not be the whole story.

At least 4 or 5 years ago. Drivers car parking lot is not there and we didn't own the back building. The big ticket is look at all the available parking up front! We don't have that many open spots on midnights anymore.

I agree with a lot of everyone is saying. It is a tool, but like any toolbox you need to have a collection of tools to get a job done.

We did not make a change on our end. I believe a number of carriers requested Sylectus to not have the unit numbers available to the other carriers. It is not a big secret to us that a lot of other carriers drivers use this tool on our web site and we are fine with it.

I rolled up the rim and won a donut!!! I am a winner!!!!! Wait I am on Atkins and this is just some kind of mean trick :(

We have a specialized division. Mostly higher end commodities most of the trailers are 53ft air ride curtainsides.

We like u too much to send you home. LOL. Yes you can ship stuff to the office just have them put a note on the package to hold in expedite dispatch.

Landed around 230 and headed into the office. Not sure about the unit numbers. Our software provider may have made a change. I am actually ok with no unit numbers on there myself.

Dave nailed it. Overflow freight is great, but when freight is not flowing those are the units that suffer the most.

Did I see you there?

ATKINS again. I need a like button for Dave! LOL

New trivia fact. The Knoxville airport Ruby Tuesdays is the only one of 900 locations with no salad bar.

You can come sit at the Knoxville airport Ruby Tuesdays with me Dale! Glad it worked out Steve. 3rd parties are not always a party!

EB good to see you on here. Havent seen you on the forum much and I still don't think we have met?

Sorry to hear that Mike. Hard to be patient for that long.

Should I even ask? By the way congrats on the Expedite Now magazine cover. No laugh, we did expedite a new casket like a week ago.

You really need to have your own customer base to succeed and use the other carriers as fill in. Relying on the major carriers or boards for all your freight probably has a very limited chance of success.

Delta has decided to delay my departure.
