Was #2 here, got bumped today to #3 out of 4, just turned down a load going to Florida, now #4 out of 4.....I didn't think Florida would be such a good place to end up for a van..as I have never had any luck getting out of there...so much for non-forced dispatch, I mean, if it isn't, should we get penalized for a turndown? By getting put at the bottom of the list?...Oh well, what do ya do...grin and bear it....Is the best we can do..

This is turning out to be a pretty good week, as was last week. Just delivered in Jeffersonville, IN this morning, and dispatch already has me on another load picking up in the wee hours going direct to MI.

Mo money, mo money, mo money!!!

Almost 5 hours since you're test drive with no progress report....Now you've got me worried! Did everything go as hoped? Or are you still on the test drive?? lol...

Mine was fixed by just using the link https://www.fleet-vision.com
I had a bunch of other stuff saved on my old link that was outdated I guess.
Although it still makes me log in twice but works now :confused:

--back home for the weekend after another good week :)

Makes me log in twice on my phone as well.....


This business is so weird.....I took a load to BFE ..Prairie Du Chien Wi...delivered, went to sleep at the Walmart there and dispatch woke me up with a bid offer from Mauston Wi 80 miles away going to Webster SD 419 miles....which I said "go ahead and try for it"....less then 5 min later they phoned back and said we'd won the bid....guess my point is.....How we are so worried about staying "in the lanes", when "the lanes" are so blurred now...I mean I could have refused the load in favor of a Load 1 south load and then be 3rd or 4th out and sat 2-4 days...

So True. I took a load to some BFE place in PA this week. Side note story: When I got there 2 hrs early looked like no one was in yet and a sign confirmed receiving hours were two hours away. So after looking around some more I was getting ready to camp out a while and backed up closer to the roll up door. It started to open. My first thought was I tripped an auto open sensor haha. But then I was greeted by two of the nicest older men I have met. While we were unloading the 4 skids off my 3 skid van (that's another story), The one guy says, "oh, I have a pallet puller" and runs to get it. I told him I had it covered. After we were done, he ask me "Have you had your morning coffee yet?" Then invited me in, pointed out the restrooms, had coffee and crumb cakes and was on my way. It may not have been a big deal, but after a long trip I really appreciated their hospitality and thankfulness.
---Later dispatch came through with a nice load going to upper Chicago out of Allentown PA. Funny I kept thinking, but Billy Joel said all the factories were closed down :p

Hoping for just one more this weekend, Jeremy feels confident that will happen. I've got my faith in him.
