    So it doesn't take 15 minutes to update like it used to? If so then that's not too bad. The thing they used to have on crossroads would take 15 minutes and many loads I look at are gone within 15 minutes.

    okay now this NAT is pissing me off also...

    I saw a great paying load picking up on the 19th, I'm talking about $500 for 20 miles drop and hook. So I booked it ASAP before anybody else could and figured I'd book other cheaper loads to get me there after.
    What nobody ever told me is if you book a load ahead of time then you CAN'T book loads between because of the stupid NAT.

    For example my NAT now shows the 19th so I can't book loads in between now and the 19th to get me to the load I booked for the 19th. Of course the system won't let me change my NAT before the 19th now either.
    So I call Schneider and as usual on hold for 20 minutes so far and no answer.
    It's ridiculous Schneider can't hire enough people to answer the phones in a timely manner EVER!

    Yeah that part can be frustrating. Very frustrating. The only way that I know to do that is to call in and have ops pull all existing loads, then you assign your new load that you want, and then they put the others back on you. Oftentimes I wish there was an easier way to do it. I have a "triangle" that I run regularly that would be SO much easier if I could assign loads out of order, because the 3rd load of the triangle shows up days before it's ready to pick up, but the second load only shows up hours before... so I have to camp the load board in order to grab the 3rd one since I can't book it ahead of time... not without having to do the whole call-and-fix-my-loads crap.

    after 40 minutes of being on hold I got it taken care of.. they had to pull the load off me though.
    Funny thing guy they told me people have been battling for the same load prior and when he pulled the load off them within seconds somebody else booked it lol. Man when he pulled the load off me I clicked on all my loads so fast it was like the twilight zone but I pulled away victorious! muaahhhhahahaha! :king:

    Theres a reason it's set up that way so drivers can't cherry pick loads.

    it's not cherry picking, it's trip planning.

    Like diesel said, you might have a lane and load you always run but making it work with the silly NAT thing is frustrating.

    plus it's not fun booking a cheap load to get you to a great load and then right after you book the cheap load somebody already beat you by seconds to the great load and you're stuck lol.
    Might sound like cherry picking but I ain't doing that cheap load anymore and will call in to have it removed.
    Is that really a better approach all because of this silly NAT? I don't think so.
