    I am under a load of tires, from New Liberty, IN and heading to Sanford, NC. Trying to get it repowered in Greer, SC for securement. I have 1:23 left on my 70. I get 7:23 back at midnight CST. I get 10:52 back tomorrow at midnight. Been logging sleeper for the last 6:08 and I only used like 2 hours on duty yesterday. Fuel stop is in Hurricane, WV. Should be able to get to Greer, possibly deliver a local load, before Monday. I'll be at 900 dollars gross for the week when this load delivers. Not the week I hoped for, to be sure. I need to learn to manage my clock better and be more disciplined about immediately stopping my clock when the truck stops, or not leaving it running entirely during tha t emergency 20 minute bathroom break the other day lol. Tbh, I'm lucky I even set the brakes on that one :)

    You know you can correct that by editing.

    And I've been running for Swift for going on 7 years now ... average 3000 miles week.

    Stop hanging out in the rookie forum and listening to the nitwits who think they know how Swift works and start spending your time in the Swift forum and getting answers from the people who actually drive successfully drive for Swift.

    I ran 2850 in my first week solo. Probably could have been 300 or so more miles if I managed my clock better. Really wanna find a way to make the Qualcomm crash lol

    LOL...yeah sure you would. They'd be slapping the silver bracelets on you too and off to jail you go. Got 10k for an attorney? (cause that's what you're gonna need to make bail and pay your attorney some cash. Probably end up costing you 25k, and loss of CDL for awhile, defending felony charges etc. ).

    What's a "DB....and "what for?"

    ***Anyway, what can be done about this type of 4 wheel driver behavior? They do this all the time.
     
    x1Heavy Thanks this.
