    You should be able to get a 34 HR reset in OKC before your delivery. Then i believe United Supermarkets has parking outside the gate in Lubbock, so you could park onsite to wait for your 9pm delivery. Your main hangup is how long you sit at Associated in OKC.

    Copy that, I’ll definitely get my 34 in. I’m just wondering are these kinda loads typical in Reggie . Because that’s gonna be a hell of a long day.

    That’s pretty much gonna be a 24 hour day for me because I don’t take naps. I’ll start my day at one am and beat case scenario I’m parked by midnight somewhere if I can even find parking that late

    If you’re out of your first drop by 5 you should be able to get a 10 in before your second drop.

    Yep, he has to be parked by 11am. If the 3am customer is slow, it won’t work. The thing you have to do is make 100% sure you’re ready to go. I would have fueled up and brought groceries before logging a 34. You have a 2 hour window.

    On that note, if I have done my part and the customer is slow and milking the clock, call the travel agent and have them note it. Night dispatch is usually worthless, so be sure to get a name.

    It was pre-Covid last time I was in there, appointments started at 8pm, so depending on case count you’re looking at 5-6hrs gate to gate.
