Unless your the top line holder in seat and can et exactly what you want right off an awarded line , Flica alerts allow you to see open time as soon as it gets dropped in. You can set the request very specific so you only get the type of trips you want versus getting alerted at 3 am about some garbage trip worth min credit. Yes the wife hates all the alerts and me being on the phone sometimes at inappropriate times . But I tell her it's truly the way I make money now . The flying is secondary . Sadly true . There are guys way worse then me but I am half way glued to it .
