    Really can't if you have a same-day live unload. Not enough time to get there, let alone any time remaining to get anywhere for a break. And we don't even know where you're at now and if you're going to get jacked around on the pickup side.

    If you're close to there now you can do it.
    Where are you now, and what's your governed speed?

    What im looking at is my 70. I dont get much back on my recap. Usually just for safety mesaures i dont like too run if i dont have at least a whole 14 on my 70. Right now i only have 8hrs ans 52 mins and i only get 4 hours and 37 mins back tonight. Its a live unload schedualed for tommorow at 10.

    Depends on how many hours you get back at midnight and what time is your delivery

    Makes no sense.
    First post says load is from Pageland to Huntsville.

    Then you say you are in Pageland 50ml from Shipper?

    But doesn't matter at 60 and 50ml from Shipper prolly not gonna happen.
    Unless you are on paper logs and want to make it 'work' lol.

    You won't get there today. You can't average 60 on the roads you're going to have to run and even if you could avg 60 in some imaginary world ... You have to go AROUND Atlanta (the miles given you assume you'll go straight thru) and with Atlanta afternoon traffic? ... aint happenin.

    Not at all doable...tell dispatch you're short on time and need a shorter load or a re-set.

    My opinion it can be done its approx 450 miles and with the hours you have today and at midnight you can drive approx 700 just got to know how to run it so you wont get stuck at receiver
