    No problem, just don't take more than 10 hour breaks and you should be there friday morning. After yesterday, I assume you have approximately 1575 to go. .. 680 to Tulsa, leaves 900...650 tomorrow , up early friday. Done.

    so you should still make it before 11 friday. :)

    I'm sitting in commerce city waiting to unload. I saw a buttload of slinkies heading east from evraz, so I'm assuming thats where i'll be sent after i get empty tomorrow. I kinda dont mind the extra day, seeing as my load that i would have picked up today still probably wouldnt have delivered until monday somewhere....

    so 1991 miles for last week , one load for the week and sat over the weekend pretty much, done 1 load so far this week for about 930 and starting another one today for 700 that empties on thursday am. Kinda dissapointed about last weekend could have had a great week but it wasnt a high priority for everybody but me so we'll see how this week goes.

    @Azcannon. Is that low of mileage something that is pretty common or is it more of a fluke? I know that trucking has its ups and downs, but I thought that things were going pretty good this time of year.
