    Hammer works well in those instances.

    I do get them a lot as I live right down the street from the distribution center. Ask away.

    You called it on the volvo, but its to Jacksonville. Never been to reno, had a load there once but it was taken off me and given to a team.

    This started out as a HPh load going to Lake Charles, La. I had requested a 34 at home. I was to pick my wife back up, too. I ended up with a 34 in Richmond and a load to Murfreesboro, Tn, and no wife. :biggrin_2553:

    Waiting for next load now at the local Pilot.

    Yea, it seems (still awaiting scientific data) that as soon as I get east of a line from Pensacola to Nashville to Indianapolis to Chicago, I have to add 4 hrs to my GPS's eta. West of that line, I only add 1hr. I try to avoid the east as much as possible. But, I must go where I can safely go when they tell me.

    Not picking on you, but I wonder how I make it 630 miles in a shift including a delivery and a pick up (at the same place at least), while having to pass through Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, and Dayton. If I applied your reasoning, it would be impossible. Again, not picking on you KD5.

    My luck, I suppose. I rarely make a good run out this way.
