    It can still auto book I think if an IC tags a particular load that's currently unassignable then becomes assignable.

    maybe we all need to forget how to use Transflo and tell them we won't figure it out anytime soon.

    If this was any software that they use, it would be fixed overnight.

    How? If I got an unconfirmed load and put it in my favorites it will only notify me when it confirms....then I have to get on the board and assign it to me.

    I'm just going by the website. It says it auto books the second it goes to assignable. It's been awhile since my programming days, but the algorithm must be able to access the board and auto select once it detects the change in status, by checking said status every 10 secs or so.

    $60 up front, and $30/month after that.

    I've considered it, but loads have a tendency to change pickup and delivery dates once they go active.

    I thought you were talking about our load board.

    I am. This website uses your info to access the portal to auto book those loads. So it claims. I found an old TTR discussion on it. Looks like @sadwar looked into it a bit. Not sure if he ever tried it.

    This one does all sorts of searches for you, lets you look at a ton of loads at one time, and searches areas you are going to be in. Some of this we can do on our own now with recent load board updates.

    It scans the loads you save every few seconds, and if you set it to do so, it will assign you a load as soon as it becomes available. This is the sole feature that interests me.

    website copyright dates haven't been updated since 2013, but there is a guy on Facebook that has claimed to be using it as recently as this year. Just did a search there for information about it a few minutes ago.

    Exactly the response I would expect from a company representative.
