    The unconfirmed is good. I would say 95 percent confirm...it takes time you got to know when to holdem...I often camp on some great freight that way I have my qualcomm and phone with alerts and laptop logged in...when it pops Quallcaom is quickest to notify and if Im driviving I pull off and go off duty and book...have i been beat sure but not often. But I go with the flow I follow the money..period I almost always fly home every weekend now living in Denver as freight out of there will well kill you..IC is a huge chess game and I love it.

    Cheating the system? really? By opening another screen/tab??

    Schneider in their advertisement video basically shows a guy doing what i just said.
    Listen from 1:00 to 1:25



    "I would pull up a separate screen at that point"
    Which is what I did.

    and that's the problem....
    we shouldn't be getting load alerts while we're driving. just saying..

    Just think... say there's a load sitting unconfirmed from NJ to Oh paying $2.
    Soon as it's confirmed there will be drivers rushing to park on shoulders, illegal areas etc etc to hurry up and try to book it before anybody else.

    It's a distraction and not safe.

    We can't talk on cell phones using a bluebooth.
    We have to take stupid quarterly video tests which mainly focuses on safety and not being distracted.

    BUT yet Schneider sends us distractions while driving and in which the driver that responds fastest to the distraction gets rewarded.
    It's such a joke.

    okay maybe I'm not explaining clearly...
    It wasn't a system error, it was other drivers hitting "assign" a split second faster than me

    Kinda my philosophy too. I get the alert and if its still there when I stop for a normal break, then I decide if I want to book or not. Even cheaper if you go with the store brand of ibuprofen....:)

    That's true.

    But I used to see loads go in a few minutes and think that was fast. Now you're lucky if its a few seconds.

    Store brand doesn't work that well for me for some reason. Guess its high dollar pain.
