The 300 miles is no problem in that time frame, but when does your clock start and is it also a live unload?
If it is a live unload you may not be able to fit it in a 14 hour shift.tscottme, austinmike, gentleroger and 1 other person Thank this. -
What time did the clock start? You’ll need 5-6 hrs driving time available. Otherwise show up to load before 2:00 pm. Preferably earlier. Start out at midnight or earlier with a fresh 14 available.
kylefitzy and Lonester28 Thank this. -
Yeah I could easily knock that 300 miles out in a few hours , Yeah both are live load and live unload . I have most of the day tomarrow to figure out what time to start it but idk if I can make that delivery if I do my 10 hr or try and do a split

You can not do a 10 in that time.
Maybe someone who uses the split can help.
I would have flatly turned that load down.sevenmph, MSWS, austinmike and 3 others Thank this. -

Split Sleeper. Do it all the time. Taking a 7-8 hr. break feels a lot less boring than a 10.
Rideandrepair, lual and tarmadilo Thank this. -
DON'T try to figure out the drive time at the speed limit, use 48 mph to figure out how much drive time you need.
austinmike, Rideandrepair and lual Thank this. -
But that should have been done before you accepted the load.
At my company I would have used mac 9 to counter the times.
Sure, I'll pick up the live load at 1730.
That would put me at 1930 when loaded, but then I would be shutting down for the night.
Add in my 12 hour break and I would be driving at 0800 the next morning.
5 hours of drive time plus one hour of leeway would put the delivery at 1400.MSWS, beastr123, gentleroger and 2 others Thank this.
