    I had enough time for a 34 on this load as well, but we didn't want to sit in the same place that long.
    It will be short hop days running on recap until I take home time in Denver.

    If anyone is planning on going through Louisiana on I-10, I-12 in the next few days plan again. Both are closed due to flooding; I-10 near Gonzales just south of Baton Rouge and I-12 in Baton Rouge and at exit 65 to 67, Covington. The rivers causing the flooding are expected to continue to rise over the next few days days.

    Louisiana DOT is recommending I-20 to cross the state. I'm headed to Laredo from Georgia and planned to stop at Frog City in Rayne tonight but that's not happening.

    Heading to Alexandria, tomorrow. Via the 20, then back to Macon, probably the 84.

    We are in Ogden, UT at the J, still trying to get to home time in Denver.

    Delivered today and was finished by 1400. The pplan that came in just after I sent my mt call has me picking up tomorrow at 1500, a live load with a midnightish delivery in Cheyenne.

    Well, at least it is getting us closer to Denver. But we'll be a couple days late.

    Cheyenne would be close enough (to Denver) for me if I had to get my daughter home for school.

    Strategically shut down in grand junction, at the pilot (moves my start time to 2am.) That way I roll into Vegas for my 34 at around noon. Go home sleep in my bed, rollout and deliver in San Diego.


    I would think they should easily be able to get you down to Denver. I've been deadheaded from SLC to Vegas before. And the regularly (pretty much everytime dead head me from LA.) I would think it would be a non issue to get you down there. Less the ref planners are just more generous.
