    I was told the mac30 concept is junk, a failed experiment on Swifts part. You would have better luck calling directly the plnr from whatever area your in, or even ECT can msg a plnr and get you something good.

    I found after overcoming my initial shyness about talking to a plnr directly, they are for the most part, extremely helpful, friendly and polite people to deal with.

    Its always "give and take", but they will tell you honestly what freight is there, in the area. And give you the best choice based on what they got.

    I don't even bother with the mac30, I wouldn't waste my time on it, quite honestly.

    I think the best idea to come out lately is being able to talk to a plnr directly. I don't have to all the time, but occasionally I will.

    Hope this helps.

    The original iteration of Mac 30 worked pretty well ... you always got 3 loads and an hour later you could get a different 3 loads.

    But, since the implementation of Plus 1 it has become decreasingly ineffective.

    I did manage to find a load headed to Colorado on Mac30 this morning.
    ANYTHING is better that running trans Texas.

    Mac30 isn't COMPLETELY worthless.
    2 out of my last 3 loads came from Mac30 and my next one as well.

    Still, would be nice if it worked like it did back in 2013. I ran 9 weeks after Christmas home time using nothing but Mac30.

    I often wonder if I wasn't on the board if there would be a post titled "Wives, What are they good for?" Then you all could complain or give out brownie points to the gals in your lives.

    Nah, the fact that you are here wouldn't hold back anyone except Steve, and he might find an alter ego to complain about you! That is if he had any complaints!
