    Count on heading to the rail yard to get an mt. That is what usually happens to us in Markham. You would not believe all the mt's in the Kent WA drop yard. Stacked 2 deep

    I was told that if you update your PTA say every 30 minutes that after the 3rd time, the Planners start to see your PTA that you are sitting and waiting for a load. The First few times you send in the PTA it only goes to your FM.

    You can try that.

    Happy New Year Anna

    The other thing you can do is theave the "TO" field blank when asking for a load. Dont do this often but if blank, the message goes to all fm's csr's and load planners.

    Just curious as to why not to do that often. Unless I am answering a specific question sent to me, I never fill in that field.

    You are basically spamming a bunch of people.

    I usually just put DISP in the field unless I want it to go to a specific person.

    Well, we picked up a load at the rail in Hodgkins about noon today and now we are sitting in Springfield. It doesn't deliver until Tuesday morning in Hagerstown, but we will see if we can deliver tomorrow afternoon...if not we shall just go on up to Shippensburg since it's an HVP load.

    Picked up a lovely HVP load from Jersey and heading to Ontario. We would love to get a chance to stop by the Colton terminal and do some laundry and get the truck washed b4 heading out again. We are in need of some soco sunshine.
