    OK, 3200 miles from Quincy MA to Grapevine TX to Hawthorne CA. They have it schedualed for 51 hours pickup to delivery including one stop. (that inclues the three hours we gain going West) It will take 58 hours NOT counting fuel stops, pickups, drop time and pretrips. I see this as a slight problem. Just called my FM and he is getting with the CSR to figure it out.

    had that happen..... lots of fun, we got the p/p and i called our fm and told him about it, he said that it would be fixed when we got the load, when we got the load it still had the same times on it so i didn't say anything (oops me bad) and just pu the load and when i send mac 3 "can you del ontime" NO "reason" CSR CAN'T DO MATH....? and for del time i put what time it SHOULD be.

    took about 4 min's before the phone rang:biggrin_2559:

    our night fm asked why we couldn't del ontime and i told him miles/time = 107 mph avg:biggrin_25513:
    the load was from dallas to kent but they had the timing from dallas to boise

    he called back about 10 min later and said i was right and have a safe trip.

    sometimes it is so funny i just wish i could see their face when the light comes on

    btw if it's fedex it should be 62hr's 3200/50mph = 64hr's - 3 for time changes plus 1 for the stop

    Yep, it is not Fedex but they are "trying" to figure at 50 mph. My FM just told me to send correct ETA once we are leaving Grapevine TX and we will be fine.

    Don't count your miles till you've driven them. Bummed that our California run got cancelled and we are now running to Georgia. Less miles but hoping we get a long run out of it still. Got to just roll with it, no pun intended but at least we are still rolling. Hope everyone is having a great day!!
