    So I'm not sure where you'd be starting from and is Atlanta home once you're unloaded?

    Regardless you can drive the 200 miles and around Atlanta in the evening hours barring any crashes or unforeseen construction delays. Start your 14 late, in time to make the appointment.

    What time zone do you use?

    You'll just need to hope the unload goes slow and once midnight rolls around you should get some more hours to head out with. Maybe use the battery disconnect switch to emulate a battery failure and tell them you're waiting on service truck that should arrive at midnight.

    I can read. Even if you put it in 20 days in advance make sure to request to be home 2 days before you actually need to be home so your not caught in a situation like he currently is. Now what don't you understand?

    The point is OP would have to return to the scene of the crime (the DC) and clock back on. How far are the maybe truckstop? How about a guaranteed spot, even further?
