    Everytime I get out to Memphis they send me back to Atlanta. Charlotte and Greensboro do have you camping out at the hotel for 14 hours or more and have you running during the day instead of at night.

    I hate Charlotte and Greensboro they know how to screw up your clock and have running during the day light. SMH if you in Greensboro on a Friday or Saturday night the hotel always turns into a club the bar that's connected to the hotel have great parties. There chicken wings are awesome.

    Been running during the day all week. Really screwing with my sleep, plus my god I didn't realize just how many idiots are on the road during the day. Hopefully I can get back to normal next week lol

    I mean, define "day." My earliest available start time this bid was 1500. That's daytime enough that I would have been happy.

    I only took such a late start because of my wife's schedule, and because we got a new English mastiff puppy. We barely see each other, but somebody is always home with him, which is important right now.
     
    De Trucker, authentic251 and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    The one we have now starts at 11:00 AM, but I could do 3 PM if I had to. That would probably have you getting back at a time way too early to get surprised at the last minute with getting sent back out somewhere on a delivery.

    UPS works in such a way where I don't really have the grey whiskers to go back out right now (non-peak) even if I wanted. That overtime is VERY coveted, and ALWAYS covered.
