Difference in Load Board Loads Per Day

[jmlaber]

Why does the number of loads a board does per day different depending on whether you look at macro 32 or macro 8? And which is more accurate? I know that normally they are too close to really make a difference, but today the number from macro 8 is almost double the number from macro 32, and that makes it harder to decide whether to move boards based on my board position.

Dont take this as the truth, but I was told that the macro 8 is a 21 day average and macro 32 is a 5 day average.

To see which one is more accurate, do an 8 then a 32 and comparing it what it shows online.

Online is real-time for number of trucks. Online is also up-to-date as of midnight (when they recalculate them) on the load counts. The macros are 24 hours old. Not sure about the difference between 5 and 21 days.

Before i say yes to most loads i ask
1 how many loads in the last 5 days
2 how many loads in the last 21 days
3 how many trucks are there now
4 how many more trucks will be unloaded before my appt time

5 loads in the last 5 days 9 in the last 21 days 6 trucks there now and 5 more before i get there is a turndown unless i know i can backhaul out of there fast
