    I ran outlaw too.....I've had a couple of log book violations in the past. Elogs is more effective if you work for a company that plans loads very well, which I do think Climate does better than most companies. I get far better sleep now

    Honestly it all depends where you’re dropping off. Seems like that’s been happening to me too lately.

    It does. They will give you 700 to 1000+ picking up Fri and delivering Mon. If it's a drop and hook, you can get it off on Saturday. You may still have to wait til Monday for a reload in that case.

    When i ran solo i rarely delivered on Saturdays. Usually would take off on friday with a long run for monday morning. That way ya get a restart in. Other than that it just depends on freight availability. Sometimes ya may end up running off of a recap. Some like that way but i prefer a restart myself. If ya get to where they're not running ya enough make sure ya talk to your dospatcher and they'll work with ya on it.

    I picked up in Wright City. It's a live unload scheduled in Atlanta Monday at 1400. What's really frustrating is that I live in Atlanta, but I can't park a truck where I live. If I could then I would have taken it to the house yesterday and gotten a reset in before my appt.

    Ohhhhh.......they probably expected you to go by the house but Atlanta is so big that a secure lot may be a whole 30 - 45 min from where you stay. Where did you reset? That particular Coke location I dont think takes deliveries on Sat
     
    Metacoyote and Lumper Humper Thank this.

    Speaking of that point, have you figured out where you are going to park on home time? An yea that's definitely what I'd have done was park it an went home. There's gotta be somewhere around there to park. Your definitely not the only otr driver from Atlanta. All the others park somewhere.

    This is true. Unfortunately some of the larger cities have spots that require payment to park there on home time. I park in front of the house right now. Wife wants to move somewhere else but everything is convenient where we are.
