    Years ago; after a weekend, come Monday morning. Trucks were sitting in the yard, one hand had part of a six pack sitting on his trailer. If memory servers me right they fired him on the spot. He was parked next to me.

    Progress ... due to enough feedback the problem with all the load search data being erased after closing the web browser is going to be fixed. Now you will not need to enter your origin city, search radius, weight, etc. every time you sign back in. So far everything that has been pointed out as inadequate is now in the queue to be fixed or added to the final product.

    I use my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active. I use the Google Chrome browser. This new site is hard to use. They layout isn't too bad, though I would like to see some of the things others had mentioned brought back. My biggest issue is when I try to input information into the search function, it doesn't want to accept it. It took me about 10 times of clicking on a state for it to show up. It took me almost 30 times of typing a city and clicking on it as it appeared before it accepted it. I also have the security message and cookie message show up intermittenly.

    Thanks Razorwyr that's all good info. My situation is about the same, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and found it very difficult to read the screen. when I zoomed in the drop down list moved over to the right so then I had to scroll over that way. I could get to the state I wanted but no matter how much I clicked it the state never went to the input box. If I zoom out again so the whole page is (barely) visible then the state would appear but even with one of the biggest phones available it really is too small to read for a normal person.

    This is going to take some time for them to fix these things. Once again, I don't know how 20 drivers testing this for weeks did not seem to have the issues every one of us had within minutes, I'm truly baffled by that.

    Good stuff, but sir, you need a hobby. You have entirely to much time on your hands.

    Lol. That was just during two of my ten hour breaks with six+ hours of sleep on each and eating. Writing college papers you learn to cram everything into the last minute before they are due. lol.

    Okay I received this just now and am posting a direct quote from IT
    ----------------

    When next you speak with your group, let them know we will deliver several changes this weekend. When they are available, we will put notes on what we delivered in the bulletin board area of both the old and new Contractor Web so you can look at the changes.

    Anything we cannot complete this week from the various comments we have received we will continue the next week and deliver that following weekend.
     
    Razorwyr Thanks this.

    So I've used my iPhone 7 plus, Note 7, Samsung tablet and iPad all with chrome and Firefox. I have not run into the cookie issue yet. Just tried my laptop and I must admit navigation is fine on it. It's obvious this site is not mobil friendly.

    The IT department has been responding well to input I have given them. I tried suggesting that loads be presented in a separate tab and all at once instead of 20 at a time but they seem stuck on the limit of some sort. I don't get why but I hope they concede that point.

    A mass mail just went out basically saying that they are going to have an updated version next week. Let's see.

    It's not the answer we wanted but am told they will increase the number of visible loads to 30. I too am not at all happy with that, for the way I search for loads want to see 500 miles out and scroll up and down the list looking for short haul next-load opportunities.
