537 viewing at 0700 eastern time , 16,000 members, where is everyone?

That's .0335625 percent viewing. ( Not exactly a bell ringer of stats there.)

My point, why aren't more posting?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There has to be more good ideas from say 5000 drivers or business owners out there,imho. So, WHERE THE ZELL IS EVERYONE,,, HMMMM.

16000 members / 48 LOWER STATES = 333 drivers maybe per state average.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of 16,0000 members , there is only maybe 25 in here that have all the answers to the expediting business? That can't be true Joe, it can't be true.

if you can repeat......

Nearly every forum has their hard core faithful members....that do a lot of postings....not mentioning any names of course...LOL...
and one just has to think of the turnover in drivers alone....about 8 out of 10 don't last a year...

so if you do some math and speculating....that is 80% of the 16,000 leaving only 3200 members...
another 50% only ask a few questions and decide it is not for them, now leaving only 1600 members....subtract a few more 100 for the retirees....1400.....another 100 have 2 memberships or more...now about 1300.....on any given night we have between 1000 -1200 people online looking in plus members....so there ya go.....most accounted for......
and just for giggles...almost forgot about the few 100 spammers and bots we've tossed....

darn I should be a bean counter...I could balance the budget in no time...LOL

There's a lot of truth to what your saying. I first joined this group in 2002 and never joined in. I could not think of my password when in 2011 I decided to join in so I just joined again. With over 100% turnover in the elite fleet it's not hard to figure that some didn't care to sit and wait a couple of days for a load going over 1000 miles away and have to be there the next day. They don't think of this as an adventure like we do.

I too had some of those fits, but soon got over it, just take the runs as they come and it all works out, and enjoy the ride, where else can u c America free, sort of............
