    That's too #### many stops in one day. I did 12 stops running watermelons to Walmarts in Colorado one day and that was too many. Working Smarter Rule No. 1 is "manage your manager." You need to devise a better plan to manage the OM's expectations.

    Ended up rolling with it. TM said it, got it in writing. Added fuel after I add slid the fifth wheel. Was dead on 12 k wanted to see how much weight it put on steers and drives. Normally my fifth wheel is all the way back, and can take 43-44 thousand, if if it’s loaded properly.

    5th wheel should sit between your drives. Centered as close as possible.

    There’s nothing like getting a text from the linehaul dispatcher at 3 AM after I went to bed saying “hey I have a NJ run for you”. :rolleyes:

    I guess I’m working tomorrow.

    We are awake, fortunate once again not to have frozen to DEATH AND DIED.

    Made one HUGE blunder not walking back to that store Tuesday, after that final stop, where I got the wedges, and getting provisions for emergency sandwiches, and some snackables.
