Need some advice. My wife and I will be driving from Flint to Jackson TN tonight. Is I69 south of Indianapolis good now, or should we take 65? Thanx in advance.
Friend Thanks this. -
My AM said the majority of her drivers..will turn down preplan...if it averages over 400 miles a day...saying they can't drive anymore than thatTrucker61016, Friend, hope not dumb twucker and 2 others Thank this.

My plans changed(for the better). I stopped outside Brooksville for a pottie break (I was running ahead of schedule like usual). About the time I got the brakes set I got a message asking to swap to a load out of the same shipper going to the same receiver, only with earlier appointments. I said sure, no problem. When I got the load, it now t'calls in Marietta asap. I would have been able to get it there tonight except I got caught up in some traffic when I had to detour around a rolled over trash hauler in Dade City. Now I will be about 10-15 min short on my 11 getting it there tonight. It still delivers Monday like the other load, but delivers at 17:00 instead of 19:00, so the next driver still has more than enough time to get there. Would have been nice to add these miles to the bonus pay (since it'll come up lower than I was hoping)...but it'll give me a head start on next weeks miles.

A lot of the drivers we get with 2-3 years of experience seem to think 450-500 miles is a lot in a day and dispatching 600 miles for a next day morning appt. is a challenge. We have one that is home every weekend that worries about his 70 hours and I don't think he has ever broken 3000 miles, and ones that come from larger carriers that stay On-Duty the whole time they are in docks, or anytime they get out of the truck.Friend, hope not dumb twucker and Lonesome Thank this.

Was a little worried about my hearing and passing the whisper test.Looked up hearing guidelines on FMCSA website,found the Medical Examiners handbook which led me to this.Not worried any longer.(#2)
They don’t test correctly.Friend, D.Tibbitt, hope not dumb twucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
I 69 through Indiana is great! It's still not finished through Henderson, Kentucky but after you get through it's a great ride down to 24.Friend, Knucklehead, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this.
