Newbie Question

[pelicn]

This was mentioned in a previous post:
The number of trucks in an area compared to the number of loads that might go outof that area in a specific period of time. How do you find out this information? We are just the drivers, not the owners so does that make a difference as to what information we can find out on our own? Thanks for the help

I don't know what carrier you run with so this may not apply. FedEx has their VRU (voice response unit) system, a computerized telephone system that offers information about runs out of an area and trucks in an area. It takes some time to get to know it, and the information is not as comprehensive as drivers would like it to be, but it can be helpful and somewhat informative in answering the question you ask.

And panther has Can Msg 8. Though it's off by a lot most times.

I'm sorry, I should have said which company. I knew how FedEx worked, but wasn't sure about Panther. Thanks

DUH....I found the answer in the danged handbook. Now I feel like a dork LOL

I agree with "themagicoen". You can do a Macro 8, but more than likely it's not going to be very accurate. The best thing to do is call Panther.
