I dont know anything yet. But couldn't the customer be called and asked if it is ok that the load gets there a day or two early? I would think the customer would be impressed that they get the load early. That way you could get those miles and be ready for some more and get in good with your DM and Dispatcher.

hell yea bseam 50 wouldnt hurt
kinda feel bad i left referral blank as i didnt know anyone from ta. As for your question kf, yes some places will take a load early but not by more than a day.nsome wont take your load unless your within 1 hour, wal mart does that. Today is a good example we get to the place a few hours early and the gate guy lets us in, but we pull up to the dock and then you wait there for a couple hours. If you want to make money and not sit then it doesnt hurt to call them ahead and ask. A tip also is instead of parking for the night a few hours away from your drop your better off getting right to the delivery spot and wait till the next day. That way you dont have to start your 14 hour clock hours away and then wasting a couple hours on your clock watching them unload you, if you already there you can wait for them to unload you and then start your clock right when you get your next route.
For your question bseam the gps only messed with us a couple time, once in dallas where there is a ton of construction and the gps starts telling us to turn where theres no turns. The other time was when his gps wasnt charged and it took like 5 min to charge it back up. Btw the maine load was changed we are waiting for another swap we are going to georgia then to colorado 25 miles from wyoming 1900 miles thursday.bseam Thanks this. -
Is that the company supplied GPS or the one that comes built into the dash from Kenworth?

. We have a tight schedule so he let me bump my speed to 61 and that was smoother of a ride than 55. Got like 20 hours of drive time with 15 of it in the past 2 days. I tried one of those 5 hour energies and holy crap it worked with the last 4 hours i was wide eyed alert. Im going to try and sleep through him driving at 68 for the next 8 hours lol.bseam Thanks this. -
They have to offer drug rehab, you test randomly for 6 mos., I think and they watch you pee, so don't do that.

Btw dont eat slim jim habanero hot beef jerkey in the morning when you had a caramel / chocolate protein bar the night before. This morning i was light headed and a little nauseus until i pulled over on the highway to throw up. Lolbseam Thanks this. -
The Kenworth Nav Plus already has a GPS built right into it. It is that touch screen on the dash. If that works there is no need to buy a GPS. All t660 and T700 have this in the dashboard already.
