    If I'm reading this right, you can sit for another 24 hours at least before you have to move.

    If it was me in the same situation, that's exactly what I'd do, then I'd put in for layover.

    Last time they gave me a load with a forced reset I didn't need, that's what I did. And I got it, too.

    Hopefully this grocery warehouse is true to fashion and takes all night to unload this load of toilet paper tomorrow night so I can get a break in and pickup the Toledo Volvo load put on me after Monday. They open the gates at 2200 and stop unloading 0600. Going to be mighty upset if they unload within two hours and I gotta try to find a parking spot.

    I don’t think the Turnpike has quite as much hard pulling as 68 myself.
     
    JoeyJunk, JohnBoy and ExtremeUnction Thank this.

    I made the mistake of traveling on 68 ONCE. Abilene used to pick up from someplace out in the sticks in WV off 79 for LL. Don’t remember the town or the business, but it was heavy as heck. There really was no good way to go.
    Either the back roads over to 81,
    back down to 77 to 19 to 81, or up to 68. Only made that mistake once.

    Yep, that was it! I went there A LOT, but only once did I take 68. Did not ever take that back road route because I saw posts where a couple of y’all did that. Nope!!!!
