    Ok, last load assignment I got, in the section when in has P/L L/D to tell one if it's a live (un)load or drop and hook, I've gotten the letter 'A'. What does this mean? DL even didn't know only saying it was a special type of Drop and Hook. Pickup and delivery both were drop and hooks in the case of that trip, but I'm still curious as what makes it special. It was just simply a kmart load from Columbus to Manteno.

    Thanks

    I think that the A means that del time has not really been set yet.

    I have seen the A quite a few times, and never once did I assist on unld or ldd. Have seen it also on drop and hooks and then usually have also seen where it says appt not set yet.

    I got another one today.

    Turns out it was pre-loaded.

    'A' simply means - If you don't know we're not going to tell you - it's a surprise!!!
