    If you can get a fresh 70, some time at home and get it there on time I'd do the reset.

    Why, well home time is important to me and running off the recap sucks IMO.

    well its a terminal to terminal load so there is no ontime, its when ever i get it there is when they get it.


    And i'm already bored here at home, although im sure i can find something to do tomorrow, IF i do a reset.

    I don't like waiting when I should be driving either. By my way of thinking though running off the recap will likely end up with you waiting for hours to come back when you could have had a full 70 to work with.

    But they are waiting on that load to keep the shortline guys moving. Having been on the shortline side for awhile I have been waiting on freight. Just a thought.

    i would just be running 8-9 hours a day and doing 16 +/- hour breaks each night...but i'll be able to leave the terminal with another load when i get there.


    If i do a reset i'll be stuck there with nothing all night, i hate sitting at terminals.
