    I assume he had to unload (or drop) same day in Huntsville. If he had until next day, I could not see why he'd be at all concerned.

    We are assuming he's gaining any hours at midnight.

    He does say he gets 4.

    If you can leave around 4p.
    By the time you run out of your 70 will be midnight or close. Then you will get the rest of your 11.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    What map are you looking at that has Pageland to Huntsville at "roughly 393 miles"?
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Yeah, I just now saw that post.

    If you can get within 3 hours of Huntsville by like 830 central time thursday, you'll be able to roll out at 7am and be at the delivery by 10 on Friday. That's how I'd do it.
     
    Lepton1 and mje Thank this.
