    Well, I just had a 34 hr restart in Florida waiting on a load. Was told teams get loaded first.

    I don't necessarily buy into that line of thought. Customers order product based on their needs and they decide how soon after ordering/loading they want it. Some want it ASAP, hence the team loads, other want the normal transit time.

    I don't either Steel..think I might have to get a new DM. Mine seems kind of timid.

    Here's a suggestion to all.

    Get the numbers to all the planners and their email addys. Contact them directly. Usually get results that way.

    Meant to mention this last night......ran into @CannonballAA at the motel yesterday. He approached me with his beautiful dog in the parking lot.

    Wonder what gave my identity away, the FLOW Below on the truck, the painted tires, or the "STEELTIGER" on my door. LOL

    Do you have one, or is that something that we can ask for and recieve? Or something that we just have to make up as we go along?
