I take issue with your comment and I will reply to your endless negativity. I really get tired of what you're always spewing, and while I truly believe in the freedom of speech, and believe you can post your opinions, I urge you to use positive language. You are a moderator on this site, and while there is another one that closely resembles you, the rest of the moderators are just that, and are good people chosen to help the conduct of the members that post here. Most of what you post appears to be negative, unless you're posting about a place to stuff yourself with food. But let me not digress, and get to the point.
Dispatchers need to use a little bit more common sense when sending out load offers to multiple units. I understand and agree with sending an offer to multiple vehicles so the load is covered during the initial 10 minute decision window. Common sense needs to be used in choosing how many units to send it to. When a van gets an offer of 1902 miles for $1819 picking up Thu 15:30 and delivering Mon 08:00 there's a really high probability the first unit is going to say yes to it. When there are 5 vans available don't send it to more than 2 vans initially. I got that offer and said yes to it.
Common sense is needed? Says you? Who are you to state what a company should or should not do? How do you know how many units the offer went to? Maybe you're special and have special information, huh? Common sense? Think twice before you write.
A few minutes later I got a call that it went to another unit. That's fine, I knew there were 5 vans and I might not get it.
It happens to all of us.
About 20 minutes later I got another load offer and it was that same run. I said yes again and once again it went to someone else. That time it wasn't quite so fine.
Why not so fine? Common sense once again. Allow me to help you with this troubling concept. Run gets dispatched, and then it cancels. Or the customer calls back and puts a hold on it. Maybe there's a glitch. Who knows? Who cares? Unit that accepted it gets a dry run status. Load gets offered again, same unit accepts it and gets it. Regardless of anything you state, dispatch did their job, the system worked as designed, and now you're not so fine. Common sense flew out the window huh?
I thought for whatever reason the unit ahead of me wasn't going to take it and I'd get it that time. I'm usually not annoyed or unhappy with not getting a load but that's about as prime a load as there is and to not get it twice isn't cool. Soooo, dispatch needs to be better trained and do a better job than they are doing of using common sense.
Sooooo the load goes to someone else and you think because it was offered to you twice you should get the load? Common sense? Hmmmm. May I politely tell you that you're wrong in your senless statement? Think before you write.
Let me finish my post. First, I believe that as a moderator you need to be relieved of your duties. You post much negativity and agitate the masses with your comments. You remove posts when you don't like something. Many of your posts should be removed, yet they remain in place because you posted them. I believe that as a moderator you should be more positive and conduct yourself in an impecheable manner. I have read many posts written by the other moderators, and they all appear to strive towards impartiality, except you and that other one.
Second, quit talking bad about the company you work for. It is not good business. Common sense, remember? I only have one simple suggestion for you: don't like it? Leave. No one will miss you. Nor would they miss me. I have not gotten many loads myself that were very profitable, and my status was apparently high enough that I could almost assume those loads were mine. But I didn't, and patiently waited for the next one. That is expedite, and what i signed up for.
My last thought is for you, and take this with a grain of salt or whatever you prefer to ingest, regarding your post. I'll send you a quarter, and you can call someone that cares. No one replied to your post until now. No one appears to care. I don't care. We all get many load offers. Some are good, some aren't so good. You take care of your business, I'll do the same, and somewhere down the line we'll count the money we earned. As long as my keep is positive, I'll keep doing this. When I can't earn what I need, I'll move on, and adapt to reality. Hopefully you can do the same, in a positive fashion. I look forward to those positive comments from you.
