Go ahead and send the macro 22 as soon as you can get an accurate ETA for the load. You should have a much better idea when you get stopped tonight. Remember to factor in the weather when calculating your ETA. Some major storm systems moving across the country that will definitely affect your drive time if you are going through them.

Must be headed to the C Bus terminal as I dont believe we have any costco's at all in Ohio... Load will prob go north, or south from there..
edit:nm.. Im suprised we do have a costco! only 3 in all of Ohio.. Springdale, Columbus, and Cinncinatti. -
I just left the C-Bus Terminal at 2p yesterday for some much needed home time since I missed Xmas at home. It just wasn't feasable for me to go home for Xmas due to travel from Millington Academy to C-Bus terminal for my 3rd week in school. Too bad I missed ya Robert you'll probably be gone when I get back on Sunday.

It went to costco on the north side of columbus, and got a load from them of pallets going right back to morris, IL, I am 3 hours out of morris, just north of indy. Got 7 left on my 70, gonna drop the load in morris, and see if they mind me running empty to the manteno terminal for a reset. I'll make up some bs or something. Real reason is i grew up there, and my mother lives 20 minutes from manteno.

Not for nothin' but accepting loads you don't have hours to run and making up BS reasons to get to a terminal isn't a good way to start your career.
Lady K Thanks this. -
Also posting (bragging) about it on a PUBLIC forum (where folks from the Co. might just read it) might not be the smartest idea - just a thought...
-
good luck with that plan...there is a truckstop across the street from that costco dc...best do ur reset there. seems like you do a lot of resets...maybe my imagination...how much time do u log on line 4 each day? if you deon't mind my asking...
-
as much as you'd like to see family, its not getting a ding on your record. Once you get a log violation, they're more apt to keep an eye on ya. Get another one, and you'll have to log whether you went #1 or #2 -
No ding, Costco had no empties, so i was told to bobtail down to the terminal. Getting maintence to replace my clutch return spring, hopefully, if it take to long to get it, I'll have to do that bungee cord fix hamshoe was talking about.
And one the line 4 question, I was logging everything as 1-3, Now I'm gonna start doing what yall have been talking about, 30 minutes at shippers then to line 2, and start saving my time, I went threw that 70 way to fast for the miles I got. -
30 min. at shippers? why not just do 15?dixiedeadlight Thanks this.
