    Instead of just origin, destination, dates & rate, the email now says whether it is team, hazmat, etc

    I just wish they'd put a link in the alert to take you to the load on the board. Or at least include all the info in the alert. I need to see the load notes, and I really like to see available loads at destination before I call.

    Time you check it all out a good load will be gone, call the agent for details, let them earn their cut.

    Yeah I liked the old ones better. Simpler, easier, quick. At a glance you could see if it was anything worthwhile from an agency that was any good or not. Now you need a magnifying glass.

    Now all they have to do is keep the load board up and running.

    I wish it would add the drive line miles to the email from wherever u stored the origin of the subscription to the p/u location. There are still some places I don't know of the top of my head and I always find myself on the maps app looking for miles in-between to see if it's good for me or not lol which takes time of course! Matter fact I might call them on that. There's still room on their to add drive line miles. THNK ME LATER! And for goodness sake just have simple Y or N for tarp!
