I just passed through there a couple days ago. It wasn't that hot then. It's only 102 here.

I feel the same way about the never-ending line inside the Flying Pilot with only one cashier behind the counter...
As far as the drive thru is concerned, I choose to walk inside, needing as much excercise as possible...but you drive an investment that needs to be guarded at all times...

But dispatch said Ready Now....LOL
One of the issues that needs to be looked at is what the "Customer Ref #" actually is, with regard to the drivers. It's a number used by dispatch, not the drivers, and it's a number we don't even need to see.
For example, I recently picked up a load with the Customer Ref # of:
974314390000-LEWRO
It's clearly a made-up number that the shipper has no clue about.
The 974314390000 (almost certainly) represents Vitran's PRO number with two inexplicably added zeroes to the end of it, and the LEWRO represents the LEWIS COMPANY in ROME, Georgia.
I showed that number to the shipper when they asked for a pickup number and, predictably, looked like a doofus when the annoyance of the shipper was evident.
Incidentally, the Customer Ref # for the consignee was
974314390000-PCCPI
First 3 letters is the consignee and the last 2 letters is city in which they are located.
So, what I'm saying is, we need a separate field for the shipper's pickup number, one that's clearly labeled as "Pickup #."
We could also use a company discount with Verizon.
Welp, after reading that post, the only conclusion I can reach is that God, Little Larry, and the bidding team all hate me.

One gets used to it. Especially after the big guy smacks you around a bit...

Customer ref# on my screen now is theNLM number
Then instead of Customer Ref # it should say NLM #
Need fields that say:
Customer Ref #
NLM #
Pickup #
AWB #
That way there is no confusion on anybody's part as to what number is what.
