2. Antitrust
It is vital that all Command Alkon meetings and activities be conducted in a manner consistent with full compliance to both the letter and spirit of the antitrust laws.
                Agreements among competitors that unreasonably restrain or limit competition are unlawful under the antitrust laws and violators are subject to criminal fines and incarceration, civil fines and private treble damage actions.  Examples of such illegal agreements by competitors are agreements to fix or stabilize prices, agreements to allocate territories or customers, and agreements to limit production or output. 
                Accordingly, it is inherently risky and potentially improper for competitors to discuss at Command Alkon meetings or activities, or otherwise, the subjects of prices, terms and conditions of sale, markets, individual customers, individual company costs, and other elements or factors that may affect competition.
                It is important to bear in mind that those in attendance at Command Alkon meetings and activities may include competitors.  Any discussion of sensitive antitrust subjects with one’s competitors should be avoided at all times before, during, and after any Command Alkon meeting or activity.  If at any time during the course of any meeting or activity, the Command Alkon employees believe that a sensitive topic under the antitrust laws is being discussed, or is about to be discussed, they will so advise and halt further discussion.  Attendees at any meeting or activity should likewise not hesitate to voice any concerns the may have in this regard.

4. Apex New 920 for Loadout and Batch
Advantages of the 920i indicators
The 920i indicator is a programmable indicator with a built in batching engine, accessible via Ethernet communications.
The 920i is in direct communication with the scale(s), this allows for more accurate reads and processing points such as opening and closing the gates. It has no processing delays or interrupts like those that occur within Windows processing.
The speed at which it processes the weights (60 to 240+ times per second) and the batch engine, makes for more accurate and repeatable drops. Consequently reducing the need to jog or manually top off the load to almost none at all.
Status information, weights, totalizers and statuses are constantly passed to the UI for display to the user, and then Printing the ticket.

Reason for distinction of truck types in the Free Fall tables:

We have a table for each, this will eliminate over and under loads.
