No not using it..been thinking about it though.
Has some nice features..but like you said pricey.
I talked with a IC that uses it and he loves it.
It let's you camp on loads that haven't been released yet..and books automatically.
Plus shows you where the freight is running hot.
May be worth it. -
But is it still available? The sight hasn't been updated in 2 years, I found his Twitter he's a driver that created it but hasn't tweeted in a couple years.

Hmm this is the first time I have seen this. Could be very useful if it's still available.
-
Still available he just answered my tweet.
Drifter42 Thanks this. -
Ran across it a long time ago and I don't have any interest in using it. So just to get started its gonna cost me 60 bucks to get started + 30 a month after that for software that looks like it was developed LONG ago.
All of its "features" are things I can do with my brain, lol, and the auto assign load thing could easily get you into a lot of trouble. What happens when you set it to auto-assign a non-available load as soon as it becomes available, but in between the customer updates the load and it goes from 10k lbs to 45k lbs, the rate drops and the appointment changes? LOL TOUGH LUCK you will hear from SNI when you go whining to them that your auto-freight-picker assigned the load and not you.
I wish I had the programming skills to write a piece of software that would parse the load board and over a period of time build a database of what loads become available at what days and at what times. Then the software would take into account your available hours, states, load weights, etc., that you choose, and come together with an optimal set of loads for you to assign based on the parameters that you set.moosc Thanks this. -
Also what if the unconfirmed load dates change once it's confirmed. We need software so that once a load confirms we are notified and can stop and look at it and if we still want it then WE book it.

I am currently working with a high school friend of mine who owns a software development company to see if we can come up with something. I'll keep you posted....
scythe08 and knuckledragger Thank this. -
I don't see a need for this software. If i was dealing with different brokers and shippers i could see something like this. Once you run the choice for about a year, you would know when and where the freight is. I know guys that are using their wives , girlfriend , and daughters to book there loads, for free.
Drifter42 and knuckledragger Thank this. -
Nothing is free...... Especially when women are involved..... Just sayin
