| For starters I think the recent changes to the Find Shipment tool were excellent. I was wondering if uShip would consider an addition to the shipper listing page and "Find Shipment" filters. And wanted to see if other service providers felt the addition would be worth having or not. Situation/Problem: Some listings I think, "Well maybe I could do this one, if I get that other job", but I don't want to mark it as a "watched shipment" and overload or clutter that feature on the "My uShip" page. So it's this type of job, as well as other scenarios, that I'd like to still having sitting in my "find shipments" showing as viewed searches but not marked as watched. But, because I forget which job names go with which listings, I often find myself filing through shipments that I've previously viewed that I know I have no interest in and that I will never bid on. I end up sitting there waiting for it to pull up, only to find out, "Oh not this one again", close the window and then move on. Possibly because its too large a load, an unreasonable target, it's been abandoned by shipper, etc. And it's these that I would prefer don't come up again in any of my future searches. Or that I at least would like the option to not have to see particular listings again. Possible Solution: On the shipper listing page, up by where it's titled Create another button that says something to the effect [do not display again] [hide from future searches] [remove from find shipments] [not compatible] [remove from all searches] [delete listing] [delete this shipment] [hide this shipment] [unwanted shipment] And then on the find shipments page where it has the filters options: Viewed(72) Watched(5) Bid(6) No Activity(214) "New Filter Name" (53) <--------- "Deleted Shipments" "Hidden Shimpents" You can add the new filter that will keep all of the unwanted or uncompatible jobs from showing up repeatedly. It could probably default to these jobs showing up to begin with and then all we'd have to do is go to the filter on the side, and uncheck this new option. So the listings would never be completely deleted, would always be retrievable, and just not cluttering our searches. Thanks
--SharraiTransport P.S. It would also be nice if we had a similar ability as eBay users on the "My uShip" page to rearrange the listing order of the headings or categories. The main reason is that I'd like "My Active Bids" to show up directly under "My Recent Matches" P.S. OK, sorry, one more thought. When doing searches "Along a Route"(I use this quite a bit), it would be helpful if you could put in more than the two zipcodes. For example if you wanted to route yourself through Kentucky instead of the Carolinas on your way from New York to Florida. So 3 zipcodes would be nice, and hey, why not even 4? MORE is almost always better, right?

My main reason for this post was:
I often find myself filing through shipments that I've previously viewed that I know I have no interest in and that I will never bid on. I end up sitting there waiting for it to pull up, only to find out, "Oh not this one again", close the window and then move on.

Or that I at least would like the option to not have to see particular listings again. uShip could add a new filter that would allow us to keep all of the unwanted or uncompatible jobs from showing up again. Does anyone think this would be helpful or a worthwhile filter? thanks -SharraiTransport

| I titally agree with your last post for eliminating shipments from showing each time, that you alread have decided against. And I can't belive it has not been simply implemented as of yet.
