    I have gone off route before, but only in routes that I have been routed on in the past.

    One of the most underpaid routes is Denver to Layton and vice versa. Paid miles are always routed over us287 from Fort Collins to Laramie. Routed miles are always through Cheyenne. It comes out to a 20 mile difference in paid vs routed miles. I don't take it all the time, but there are times when I wan to enjoy the view.

    Not me, that's the ONLY way I go. I went off route one time, stirred up a hornets nest supposedly. I was taking a HD load from Salem to K-Falls and it was snowing w/ chains over OR 58 so I took I-5 south and around that way. I was an hour late instead of a day late. Still got a butt chewing.

    Namely because you did it with a HD . When you had to check in with Katie, tell her exactly where you were staying etc...

    I hate those and Lowe's loads. The micromanagment drives me nuts.

    That's bs, it should be what best suits weather conditions and road conditions giving close to routing as possible not some corporate seat warmer who never drove.

    Anyone know if I can park onsite here Sunday night for a 8 am Monday delivery? Or would it be best to stay at the Auburn yard?

    No you can't. There's some street parking on 24th right before the curve on 142nd. The Shell truckstop charges unfortunately. I have a secret place I park near the Costco. Then again, if I told you where it was, it wouldn't be secret anymore ;-)

    Thanks Scoot. The yard is only about 15 minutes away. Not a big deal to me if I stay there.
