It's magic. Put on your tinfoil hat.

I noticed that on ITS - it was a little weird at first but I see it as valuable for the broker who pays for ITS. It's a little obnoxious when you accidentally click on a load that you had no interest in moving and then get the phone call.
Didnt know about the opt out wichris - thanks!bullhaulerswife Thanks this. -
Click on a TQL load play dumb snowwy...I can see how that would go.
"Hey you clicked on our load going from a to b"
"I did?"
"Yes that's why I'm calling what rate would make this load work for you"
"Oh bout $2500"
"Oh I can't do that I'm all in at $1250 there's no profit in it for me at $2500"
"Well that's what I'd need to move it"
"That's highway robbery somebody will move it for $1250".
"Yea and your going to make 70% profit off that driver...THATS highway robbery!"
Click.
Click.Dryver Thanks this. -
You search a market on ITS and it puts you on the "hot prospect" list for the brokers, in addition to click notifications.
I found it annoying at first, but never got around to calling and asking them to disable it. I'm glad I didn't. It has led to brokers calling me on loads I would have passed over, only now I have leverage since they're needy enough to call hot prospects. I usually wring out a really good rate, and most times those loads are ready with no delay.BigJls1, MNdriver, silver dollar and 1 other person Thank this. -
well, this load was ready. and the rate was good. considering the area i'm in. but i would just be deeper into the dead zone. instead of closer to where i need to be on monday.
so how does one disable this feature cuz i haven't found it yet??? -
Just call ITS and tell them you don't want it. They have to set it, as it's not in your user controls.
Marlin46 Thanks this. -
It's ok... let them call. Whenever a broker calls ME for a load regardless of a posted truck or click, I always ask for a very high rate.. Sometimes you get it!
