Optimizing my 70

on paper i would run my log book , like a checkbook, i have 70 in the bank , i got x amount time too use it, and then i go too the casino, (dispatcher) see what crap shoot he delt me with, i liked the short run's myself, but once in awhile he would slip in a long one, that's were it get you, then you run off the recap , but on e-log's i'm still trying too figure that one out myself, because once i get unload, i like too keep busy, meaning yard dog time or driving 56 mile's one way and back, helping too deliver a customer trailer they drop in the yard , that's one question i had on it, i know that will eat my hour's too ,
