THE ADVENTURES MK III - Still doing it my way

They say it's to know what kind of availability/capacity is in an area. Of course, it does them absolutely no good with a driver like me, who will oftentimes deadhead out of an area with several loads that I COULD take, but WON'T take because they're too heavy for my truck/going places I don't want to go.

 

Yup, I'm the same way, usually book a load after delivering (or just before delivering) my previous load. Rarely do I have multiple loads on me. If I do I almost always regret it because I end up finding a better load I wish I would have assigned lol.

 

Haven't figured that one out either. I think it has something to do with the way the computer calculates stuff. When they modify the assignment it redoes all the calculations and resets your NAT/ETAs to what the computer believes you can do.

I don't even bother setting ETAs any more unless it's WAY off. When I arrive at the receiver I put in a time near what time it actually is when I arrive and finish out the rest of the workflow. Most of my stuff is on drop windows and as far as I'm concerned if I get it there within that window it's all good.
