    I think that I have MAC 30 now, without even knowing about it. Decline a pplan today, and received another msg right away saying that there are no other loads avail now. Try back in 1 hour. So tried Mac 30 in 1 hour, and received the same msg. Nothing avail now. So I guess that I have Mac 30 now, if this is what is supposed to happen.

    Yes! so 18 hrs before your pta you can start checking,usually not right a way,seems that the sweet spot is 12-6 hrs b4 pta and early morning.If no mac 30 will still get planned,not sure who or what controls what is there,it is like Swifts little mystery?:biggrin_25520:
