    Well this is something new for me.....Planned out for the next 8 days,Awesome!

    I dropped at final in Salinas Ca yesterday and hit my mac 30 just to see,and there she was 2430 miles (2285 loaded) what a beauty. Load of tomatoes to knoxville Tn. Got loaded this morning Amongst towering stacks of tomato crates higher than the truck!

    Headed out towards the southern tehachapis and the dang qualcomm goes off repeatedly (uh oh! I thought whats up with that?) pull over to check my messages and D##m! 2 preplans to keep me busy until the 7th of may,whoa!

    I've been planned 3-4 days out with 2 pp but 8 days............Has this ever happened to you? Tell us about it..........

    I've never had a load that long. Not normally.

    Only time was when my DM said I had to get a SIM class done, so he brought up a bunch of loads and I picked the longest one, which went from Green Bay, WI to Oxnard, CA.

    But never that far ahead. Only just two stacked loads at one time. Like a trip from Wilkes-Barre, PA to Quakerville, PA, then a pick up in York, PA to Mountain Home, NC was my last stacked double preplans.

    Sometimes(most of the time) I would really like to keep the same trl especially when you get a good one,instead of swapping all the time,but then getting loaded and unloaded on both ends always would be a real drag too I suppose..............
