What is your truck governed at? I also like to start my day at around midnight or so for that exact reason.

I'll be rolling up a lot of money belt when I leave Colorado. If it's to Markham empty, miles will fly by on 70.Smut Thanks this. -
I've had some 600 mile days in the east but only when empty and when starting around midnight. When loaded, the liquid can really slow me down quite a bit in traffic.

Great read about your experience so far. I saw that you wrote there are mixed reviews about the Atlanta terminal. Is there not enough work around Atlanta or is it something else? Thank you!
Mortarmaggot and scythe08 Thank this. -
Lonesome, Mortarmaggot and scythe08 Thank this.

Oh, and some folks simply hate Atlanta due to the traffic, which is understandable.
There is a lot of Atlanta work. That's not an issue.
You know what they say about truckers and puppies.....Ian2175 Thanks this. -
I'm halfway unloaded, so I'm going to call logops to see what they want from me next. If they give me a choice....lol -
And the winner is Markham, Illinois. It's running empty for tank wash, so I'll spend the night here and be in Markham Sunday evening.
Today has been mostly easy driving. (322 miles) Left the Loves at 0045 and stopped at the Flying J seven miles from my delivery. Spent an hour and a half there before going to deliver. Dennys grand slam is what it was.
Currently I'm a little over half unloaded. ( Arrived 15 minutes early)
Spending tonight at the J after an afternoon with the in-laws. Just a short visit. Might not even leave the truck stop, Denny's is always good with me twice in a day.
Will update when I get assigned another load, or something interesting happens.Lonesome Thanks this. -
Mortarmaggot Thanks this.

Mortarmaggot and Ian2175 Thank this.
