    Well to tie into the posts about the teams and "favorites"

    I have shown myself to be a reliable driver on the account. I have an excellent relationship with the office. I will routinely ask if a change that benefits me will impact the other driver or agree to a change of it benefits the account and their customers.

    This attitude nets me the offers of which available loads to choose from at a given location before released back to SLI and allows me soem other sensible actions from the office.

    Overall I feel treated fairly by my office and dont feel I get special treatment for being a team player and serving our customer and their customers.

    Bethcha I keep this trailer i have now though!!!

    How could I calculate to what effect idle has or has had on overall mpg?


    And for those with contacts in the offices, how do they account or factor conditions likely to experience for certain times of year? Specifically as it relates to the bonus metric.

    Did we lose the P&G account in Browns Summit, NC ? Haven't seen any loads on the board for them in a while.

    I know this is an older post, but I wanted to add my .02. SNI lost the CA P&G freight because they suck at loading and we could never get it legal. (Pacer does it now)
    Intermodel has an account in Joliet IL that specially states they do not load to CA tandem settings. As long as it was legal for IL, we ran with it. I'm assuming if there was a portable set up, the customer would pay the overweight. I took a picture of the sign first time I went there to cya.

    After 16 years doing this, I have one rule for dealing with gray areas. If you want it done and is iffy, I'll do it, but please send me a message on the Qualcomm.
