Anybody else planning on firing ITS?

I thought I was the only one. I seriously didn't want to "get use to" something that I thought was fixed when it wasn't broken. I really didn't think I had the time to mess with it. BUT I did get use to it. Just try it for a couple weeks. If you still think you don't want it, then get rid of it. My 2 cents. Btw, a search sits there and automatically refreshes constantly. All you gotta do is glance at it to see if any new load has been posted.

 

IT'S2 absolutely BLOWS. I've been more than happy with classic for years. And classic 2.0 is going to classic 3.0......whatever that entails.

 

Give it time. I thought the same but I. Really like the new style you don't have to type in your serch every time if you are looking for loads out of same area instead of typing in same thing every week all you have to do is change date I like that also have you tried the phone site for Its? M.truckstop.com

 

Can't say that I really have any issue with the pop-ups, but I'll admit they're busier than they need to be. I think web developers in general get out of control adding worthless features and formatting. But that's another rant for another time.

I've found my usage of ITS has followed the same habits I use on Landstar. I have about a dozen or so multi-state searches that favor a market area. When I have a truck in the area I tweak the nearest one with an exact location. For example, I'm generally looking for the same destinations from just about anywhere in East Texas any time I'm there. Change the city from Pittsburg to Fort Worth and I'm done.

Now if TQL would limit one post per load with actual locations, and Stevens would list loads that actually exist, both ITS and Members Edge would be better places.

 

Classic 3.0 is strikingly similar to ITS2. I wouldn't want to be working the phones at ITS today....

 

OK.. I wasn't clear on your use. I wasn't referring to the "are you still there?" reminders, although that is annoying too. Dynamic internal frames for load info are just bad design, period. Unfortunately it's a whistle/bell that web developers seem to think is the next coming of Christ these days.

You can still open load detail pages in separate tabs, albeit it is slow. Click on a load to get it's details displayed. Now right-click in a blank area and find the option "open this frame in a new tab." I've verified it in both Safari 5.1.2 on Mac and Firefox 6.0 on Vista. The slowness comes from loading the content twice. You won't get much advantage with Members Edge as it opens a frame too, then if you click the print icon it opens the details in a new window. Do it on a second load and the details load in the same new window, losing the first one to history. You'll probably just have to try some different things to see what works best.

I'd never considered doing what you describe due to my desktop already being pretty busy. I've usually got too many browser windows open, with several tabs of related content in each, to be able to keep track of yet another one. That puts me at about my multi-tasking limit when on the phone. When I'm shopping loads I just use post-its to capture notes quickly by hand while running miles and rates in the background on the computer. When I'm done I stick the relevant post-it to the rate confirmation and trash the rest.

 

I dont like it,I want classic 2 back.
