    No way.

    Refuse it, and let them resend with a proper weight!

    hmm i deadhead sometimes 60 miles to get to a decent parking spot or terminal rather that sit out in the middle of nowhere after three hours and no pplan, I'm company as well and what happened this weekend with a coke load has caused me to only get 447 miles in three days because they refused to tcall it. Jerry needs to bring the hammer down on some of these people.

    Poor planning!!!

    This changing of the PTA without notice has just got to stop. Had one again the other day. The only way that I found out that it was changed, sent MAC 30 and was told that my PTA was more than 18 hours away. If not for that, I never would have know. I feel for those that do not have the use of MAC 30 yet. If no notice, they would never and then be wondering why they are not getting a load.

    Not sure bout ya all, but my dm preaches that we have to send in our mac 10, 32, 34 before 6am each day. Mind you, im a Co. Driver.

    I did learn my lesson last weekend, sitting for days waiting for a pplan. So yesterday I got my dm to keep me rolling all weekend, and whammo 2 loads just over 1200 miles.

    I did mine that previous evening. Found out that it was changed while I was on route to my delivery that evening. One of the first things that I do every evening when I stop, send in the Macros.

    part of my bedtime routine is to print my log and send in the macro. i just send the 10 since my pta is set by the loaded and empty calls. however, if i sit empty for more than an hour past my pta, i send a freeform with my pta and a request for a load. i have only had to do that once in the past 3 weeks.

    I forget to send my mac 10 & 34 sometimes before 6 I send it anyway as soon as I remember. I think that 6AM deadline is more like a guideline. Shine some light on me guys, ehats mac 30 for?

    Macro 30: request load choices. In theory, the computer then sends three loads to choose from.
