If your company provided a web site for company drivers and owner operators what would you like to see on it and what would you like to be able to do on it?

I have some Ideas I would like for my drivers to be able to see loads awaiting dispatch provide broker or shipper contact info
I would like for the drivers to be able to lock there truck onto a certain load of there choice provide load events.submit paperwork pods,tolls,fuel receipt,maintance records,bols,logs.

just looking on some input on the things you wish you could have available to you like directions to locations or whatever you can think of.

thanks for your input.

I'd like to see as much detailed information as possible about my trips and truck, and I'd like the data to be easily downloadable to a spreadsheet and/or database program where I could then analyze it.

Our carrier does a good job of providing data but not always in downloadable form, which makes it more difficult to work with.

Well one thing that I would like to see and from what I hear Landstar drivers can do it is being able to see where all of the trucks are located and if they are or are not under a load. this would make it a whole lot easier and faster for me to decide where I would want to layover and not waiting for dispatch to take 2 hours or sometimes not at all to get back to me with my board position.

I second what A Team said.

Also I would like to be able to pull up all the info that I get on the VRU on the computer, with the addition of dwell time. It is a pain when you find out that you will go into a market that has 3 vans and they all have been sitting there but they have activity in the market.
