    Yeah ... it's been married to Plus One and only spills the loads that perfectly fit you hours and Plus Ones calculation if your ETA.

    As you get to the end of the week, it pushes loads that can complete that week ... On Tuesday you get the 200 mile load that delivers on Wednesday, instead of the 1000 mile load that delivers on Thursday. Until that 200 mile load gets planned, it keeps getting pushed to your truck

    Noticed lately that you get a constant update of the recommended trip plan. Seems that resets the Plus One/Mac 30 parameters.

    For the O/Os they should take us off Plus One and go back to old way. Just dump all the available loads to Mac 30 and let us determine which one works best.

    Like that will ever happen. I have been noticing every morning now for the past few days getting a message regarding trip plan

    I deliver in Denver tomorrow AM and the ONLY loads on Mac 30 are the scrap paper loads from King Soopers in Aurora to Prewitt, NM.
    Typical of Denver.

    You are lucky. I usually get the offers from Loveland to Grand Junction. Even when I am 150 miles away, or the Brighton loads

    What a wrong time to be here at this hotel. The Black Bear is closed for remodeling. Sucks. Happy that not trying to be here on the 13th. Nascar is coming to town

    Those Prewitt loads can be either good or bad.
    Bad if you get there short on hours with a lot of trucks in front of you.
    Make sure you park correctly in the area next to the guard shack. They will make you go back and park again.
    And make sure to bring in your CDL.
    They don't care if you are late, but you can NOT be more than 30 minutes early or you will be sent away. The nearest truck stop is 20 miles away, but there is a place you can park in the dirt at the final road junction.

    The good is that you will likely have a load right out of there from the same place. But it will also be a heavy rolled paper load. Once you hit the dock you get loaded pretty quickly.
    The usual is that you unload, sweep out the trailer, and go to the other side for the new load - with a few steps in between.

    It's not bad if the timing is right.

    Got up from my nap and scored a can load from Golden to Montebello.
    Problem is there is a storm coming and no way am I gonna risk I-70 (unless it's clear) with only 8K in the box. I'll check the conditions as I leave Golden and go the long way if I have to.

    I've been to Prewitt several times to pick up. What I don't want to do is deliver a load there and DH back to Albuquerque for my next one.
     
    Moosetek13 Thanks this.

    On Sunday I got a hit after my 3rd Mac 30 in 30 mins.

    I've probably done 15 since my loaded call yesterday with the "normal" results, NOTHING!
