Crete by the #s for xlsdraw

307.8 today. I'm on my 9th load in 9 days. 250 miles left on this one. I have crawled almost exactly 3600 miles in 9 days. Well we all know what will happen if this 400.0 mile per day avg continues.

 

Average load length 427.

 

When I got MT this morning my preplan came thru. 109 deadhead and 291 loaded. Live load at shipper today and live offload at Consignee tomorrow. I called in and finally talked to someone with a little compassion. She took the preplan off and gave me a load that was a ready to go d & h 50 miles deadhead and drop 24/7 1005 miles loaded. Crete often used the "we have to give you the shortest deadhead" as reason why you get less desirable loads. Well this proves that to be false. They were willing to deadhead me more than twice as far to ensure that I would get yet another crappie load. Or at least that's sure how it appears under the circumstances. I sure hope this kind lady doesn't get punished for helping me. 566.5 today.

 

578.0 today. Parked at a mom & pop on the east side of Monroe, La. 95 miles from Consignee. Should be done with drop by 04:00 in the morning. Gonna only have about 8 hrs left on 70 after the drop and only pickup 5 the next day.

 

Got up at 00:45. Will have drop done and hooked to next load out of same place by 04:00. Next load delivers in Duncan, Oklahoma at 07:00 Wednesday. Finally a couple efficient loads back to back. But I tend to 10 hr break and keep moving regardless of time of day since I am accustomed to burning down my 70 as quick as possible and resetting. I am no expert at all on recapping.
