    Got me a 2289 miler to California. One issue, delivers on Tuesday and I am gonna run out of hours on Monday. I get 10+ hrs back on Tuesday so it looks like it will be a REAL early start to make the delivery.

    Wait, I thought all you flatbedders were tough? I usually start my day around 2-3am everyday. :biggrin_25525:

    Tough yeah, but we require regular hours of sleep to maintain our toughness. :)

    Also to maintain our extreme beauty.

    Ain't no sense in being this good looking if it is too dark for the ladies to see us!

    I would join the conversation, but I am beat. 10:59 of driving today. 666 miles, crazy number there too. And after all of that, I am probably not going to make it to Flagstaff on Monday to see the family, (mom was thinking of driving up from Phoenix) , not have enough hours to make the delivery on-time and not have enough hours after I deliver to get another load to start back east. Perfect storm of crap! FM and I knew it was gonna be tight, but I'm gonna be an hour short of making it. At least that is what I see right now.
    Off to bed... OH, was so tired that I couldn't blind side back into a spot. Flipped it around and screwed up the first two attempts on the drive side. I was so amped to keep going that when I stopped all my brains were still rolling down the road.. LOL
