    Hell it’s saying I gotta deliver in Thibodaux, LA by 4 pm and I can’t make that in a 2 hour window; little over 400 miles

    That right there was part of my problem with WE. Impossible load is impossible and technically not legal for them to assign as-is. Do yourself a favor and see if they'll reschedule that delivery appointment to something that actually IS possible, ESPECIALLY in that 65mph tractor

    You mean dispatch, or John Deere in Thibodaux?

    Educated guess. May or may not be based on experience with WE's shenanigans. You know how it goes

    (You didn’t hear it from me) some trucks of you keep hitting + or accel on cruise, some trucks have hidden 3-5 mph.

    The second load picks up at 2pm. When and where does the second load deliver? You need to know that info before starting your 14 hr clock to del the first load.

    Thibodaux, LA, my home state, little over 400 miles; I know I read it was due on the 29th, maybe on the WE app, but on my Qualcomm it says on the 30th so it’s all good
