    Yes, between the time and being completely exhausted the day is a goner.

    You can lose a day, so you kinda need to make up for the day

    There is 'a weird chic from Boston', her words, that just switched from 1 year of dry van to flatbed. She looks 27 or so and about 125 lbs. You can watch her daily vlog on youtube, just search on her name, Allie Knight. Or click here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AllieKnight

    We can all find out if she can handle it.
