    We've disengaged the Auxiliary Power Unit and have started the main engine.

    OMG we had to drop trailer for loading.

    This is the most Savage of savageness places.

    BUT

    The OM found a place with fried chicken and wedges.

    Two other LANDSTARVE'S here. One is leaving. The other is loading. And of course we're last.

    Wrong on so, so many levels.

    If we had an open deck, we'd be happily trucking down the highway making the gynormous money.

    Yes but that's healthy exercise. There was this DUDE that pulled in next to us that tarped his stuff.

    Seemed like he really knew his business. Took him well over an hour. Skinny as a rail, even wearing hoody.

    Excellent tarp job. Had about a 100 bungee around his neck, and you could tell he was an expert.

    Probably got an extra $1K for tarping.

    Lets do some math.
    3 1/2 weeks is 17 1/2/ work days, so that would be 3 1/4 days if you get home before midnight, after midnight it would be 3 1/2 days, unless a holiday falls on the Monday, then only 2 1/2 days plus the holiday, except if the shipper loads until midnight Friday, then you will have to load, and start the trip by noon on Monday. That is only when the home time is scheduled for a weekend.
    It’s different for weekdays.
