Trip planning

It won't be the last time.
Road construction isn't too bad, even if you only go 25mph, it isn't as bad as it seems as long as you are rolling. Road construction + and rush hour is no good. It can be a waste your 70 to trudge and through it. Probably save you an hour or two ant the end of the week, from one avoidance like that.

Might be good to let dispatch know how many hours you will have left after your delivery, so they can plan for it. After your break and get rolling tomorrow. Just so they don't assume you can bounce for a day.

 

According to people I know, it’s not a big deal. Just pull over and turn off the eld or put it on pc, and then finish the run.
Better to be on time and deal with consequences later.

 

NOTICE....
There's no need for anybody to be insulting anybody else.
State your facts, give or receive advice, but keep the personal comments to yourself.

 

We don't have the luxury to just get in and go untill the clock runs out. Lots more traffic now nowadays.


I'd rather push as much as I could, but it isn't always going to work like that.

 

traffic years ago, traffic today. you work with it.

 

i never did that crap. stop making excuses or looking for ways to detract from the facts...for your failures.

 

You did right. One way you would be late and other you wouldn't. Pretty simple to me.

 

You did the right thing. You might have driven another hour, 1.5 tops. Any more than that would have been pushing it to close.
I agree with buddyd157, always get as close as you can. Being on elog/eobr in this case that is exactly what you did.
Back in the day when we were still on paper, then you could have driven. Until you either got there. Or were to tired to drive more. BUT your not on paper.
