We just got a memo a couple of days ago about checking loads via Skynet. If you sign into Skynet, there should be a link to something called employeeRES or something like that which will redirect you to Continental's reservation system. I haven't used it yet, but I will report back once I do.
As far as weight restrictions, I haven't run into or heard of any since we started this route. Things should get better as the weather cools down... hopefully... assuming people carry the same number of bags... and the weather stays favorable
