    I am right there with you. I have no complaints with the 10, 11, and 14. I hate the 70 though.

    The 14 hour rule can go impart a vacuum upon equine gonadal tissue. There have been nights where taking a 30 minute nap would have allowed me to finish my trip safely, but I couldn't due to the 14 hour clock. I had to push to finish before my 14 expired.

    I'd bet that the 14 hour clock has caused more unsafe driving (and accidents) than it prevented.

    Pueblo, CO at the Love's.

    I dropped a load at Target, and picked one up headed for SD.
    I pulled in to the Love's at 1830 and I was lucky to find a spot to park on the street. Even the dirt area between roads was filled to capacity.
    Faced with a 30 minute break before I could drive another 3 hours only to try finding parking in Denver or a bit beyond, I chose to stay here for the night.
    I won't deliver this load when Plus-1 wants it delivered, but I'll still be well within the customers requirements.

    DP the 58 isn't bad in the summertime.. it's narrow so it'll be a slow pull for most of it but once you go through the tunnel and get on the south side of the mountain its an easy ride. The hardest part is from the tunnel down to that little town not too far off of 5

    About the only game in town, since Rocky Mountain shut down.
