Trip Trades on VIPS
Are any of you aware of software that will submit trades automatically when open times starts on Thursday? I'm airborne and wanted to schedule adjust. I guess I could use the fall back option of having my wife submit trades, but that scares the hell out of me!

Try this.... http://magicwebfx.net/ It is an outstanding program and does a lot more than just automatic trip trades. Easy to use, and simplifies every part of interacting with the FedEX website.
And no...this is not a paid advertisment. I'm just a satisfied customer.

Although I don't use Jim's Magic program anymore, it is a great tool, especially if you have a lot of lines to consider for bidding purposes, or want to maximize vacation, or any number of other uses, including submitting trip trades when open time "opens." However, (anyone who now uses it can correct me if I'm wrong) if you're planning on requesting more than one swap (or a trip pick up), be sure to put your first (most important transaction) choice in first, as I usually managed to get my first choice, but never got my second or subsequent choices from Magicdisk. This was usually due to the large numbers of folks submitting trades, etc, at the same time.

Easy to confuse Jim's FastBid line bidding program [which is an indispensible tool to me] with MagicWebFX. The latter is a new automation program for the pilot website. In fact, it was modeled on parts of Curt's magicdisk dialup program.

Jim, you can correct me if I'm wrong but Fast Bid does not do trip trades. I asked Jim about this a couple of months ago and he said he has no way to Beta test it other than do trip trades himself. Wisely, he has declined to risk that.

My wife & kids have been setting up my jumpseats with the program for the the last year with no problems (the original beta testers). But, I've always been around to do my own trading though.
