Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Good job, JB!

 

Well, I am bumping up against my 70 as well. Heading to West Memphis with only 6 hours left for today so I will drive those then wait for the 11 hours to free up for me at midnight.


@Anyone,

General question about working the clock.

In the above situation would you recommend driving the 6 hours now and wait to finish the drive when the hours free up?

Or wait until 6/7pm tonight and drive the balance of the hours past midnight and then use the recap hours back to back?

Basically do the miles in one drive or two smaller ones? Or doesn't matter?

Thanks,
MD

 

Guess it is a moot point... Just realized I am 13 hours away from West Memphis so it will be two drive sessions either way... So might as well role sooner than later...

Input about General Clock Management is always welcome... Obviously still learning and very open to those more experienced than I.

Stay Safe,
MD

 

Depends on how far you need to go. If you get back 11hrs at midnight and have 6 now. You can drive 17 hours. 6 now, break then the 11. But if you wait til 6/7 tonight even though you'll have more hours on your 70, you can only drive 11. You know how to work it. Me personally I'd drive the 6 now. I want to get back asap especially if I was headed in the home direction.

Thank you everyone for keeping my daughter in your thoughts. She gets to go home today around 10.

 

Thanks... That's kind of what I was thinking too but then hanging out at this Rest Area all day waiting for my clock seems a waste too...

Much appreciated.

 

AWESOME!!!

 

My wife and I did meals on wheels type thing with our church in Kokomo IN when I was on recruiting duty Thanksgiving day instead of having our own meal, then at the end the church would have a plate for the delivery folks, it is easy to take for granted what we have, then one day you meet some one with everything they own on their backs. Your very much right puts things into perspective.
