    You should have had truck at Blue Ridge getting that AC fixed, where you're heading is not the place to be without AC, I was just down there and it was H-O-T!...I'm sure you do, but if not, make sure you take plenty of water with you...

    Why the need to take stock in unwarranted Fear ?
    Its the weekend and you aint rolling ?
    Face it,time at home is primo no doubt,setting near drop waiting or better still EMPTY is money in the bank.

    If you in fact control your book,then do it!

     
    Boardhauler and Yodler Thank this.

    Have you thought about just taking 24 off & getting some hours back then running?
    I don't feel like thinking too hard today so you do the math & let me know.

    I would put the miles behind me now, unless I needed to be at home for a day. I just like to get my load there ASAP, and feel better if I am rolling. Just could not lay around the house, thinking I could be trucking. They need their freight out there, so I would get to work.
    I see your thinking,and it could be done either way.:biggrin_2551:

    Always best to do a reset whenever possible in my opinion. Why have the stresses of trying to catch up on hrs or wondering how close you will come. One thing about time management is having the time to manage anything that comes up. What happens if God forbid you have a breakdown or major accident (not yours) or anything that chews a few hrs out your schedule. Best to know you have a safety net in my opinion. Good luck no matter which route you choose. Drive safe!!!
