    I can easily do 200 miles in 4 hrs in a 63 mph truck..... but not if Atlanta is involved .... it’s ‘possible’ but not very likely.

    If your just delivering and not leaving under dispatch on another load you can use off duty driving to go find a place to park. Let your fm know what you plan to do before you send in your depart so they don't dispatch you untill you get parked.

    If it's the Pilot on Bouldercrest, nope. Are you talking about one of the DC's behind it? If it's that Kroger place you can park on the street outside it. There is a petro at exit 12. Not knowing where you are coming from, I would start my day and plan so I would arrive at 1900

    And since you 14 really won't count you can time it so you miss the traffic and find a place to park. Petro gives you two free hours

    Always request your home time date a couple days before you need to get home. So say you have a special event you must be home for on the 23rd request to be home on the 21st to give yourself a cushion of 2 days.

    This is what pisses me off. We're out here for months at a time, I've been out here for six weeks, and the day I want to go home and I go through the proper channels and I still can't get home on time but this prick goes home everyday at 5p.
