Not entirely sure how old you are, or what level of forum etiquette you're familiar with, and I don't want to sound condescending, but do you realize you posted essentially the same message regarding open car loads 6 times in less than 30 minutes tonight? Three of the six messages were posted within 3 minutes of each other (specifically 8:07, 8:09, and 8:10pm). That's pretty annoying and cloggs up the board. On average, I wait at least 24 hours before even checking the responses on any of my messages, because it usually takes that long for any of the members of a forum to have an opportunity to read and if they decide to, reply to the message. From a forum etiquette standpoint, please refrain from posting the same message, or even a rephrased version of the same message until you've waited at least 24 hours after posting the first message. This is a common courtesy, and it won't annoy the other members of the board. If no one responds within 24 hours, feel free to repost or reword the message. But only one repost per day, please, as courtesy to your fellow MRR's. Not every message will get a response, and not every member reads the forum every day, so it could take a while to get a reply to your message. 6 times posting the same message in less than 30 minutes is unreasonable to expect anybody to reply, and in all honesty, would annoy me to the point of skipping the message and not even reading it, much less replying to it. I hope I didn't offend you by posting this, but I think I'm speaking for more people than just myself by saying this. We're all MRR's here, and we can all benefit from each other's knowledge and insight, sometimes it just takes longer than 3 minutes for someone to respond. Thanks for your cooperation!
