"Sideways Drops" And Tsunamis - Which Is Easier To Predict?

Illinois - 97.65%
Maine - 96.54%
Indiana - 92.76%
Alabama - 92.14%
Kentucky - 89.71%
Oklahoma - 89.62%

I've been doing a little more thinking about the criteria for "Sideways Drops" ... and wondering if I couldn't come up with a better way for predicting these drops. So far, my short answer is "No".

Just to review, here's my un-scientific "back of the envelope" definition for the term "sideways drops":

Carriers who are on the Unregistered List one day and fall off the Unregistered List the next day without anybody doing anything proactive to get them off the list.

Here are two situations that DO NOT qualify as "Sideways Drops":

We change a "carrier" to a "registrant".

We deactivate a USDOT number.

In both of these situations the carriers come off the UL, but we did something proactive to get them off of the list.

Confused??? I'll try to clarify all of this in my next post.
