Any additional resulting business contracts will be processed this week for next week's traffic. <br /> <br />Effective Immediately <br /> <br />All Interchanges served daily. Inbounds expected Midnight to Noon and Setouts will be made no later than Midnight each day. Please allow one to three days for unloading/reloading <br /> <br />Please post any corrections this upcoming week in following pages so I may address them on a case by case basis. <br /> <br />I think and HOPE my format is acceptable to all... it is very difficult to produce a traffic report in this particular situation but can learn if others have a better method. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />
