would anyone look over my trip plan assingment for class tell me what u think

Here's one for you, silver drifter. Use your road atlas, and your truckstop book and whatever else you want.

Youre in the TA in Bloomington,Illinois. I'm broke down on the east side of the loop of Cincinnati, Ohio, on the Ohio-Kentucky border. You are suppose to repower my load, drop and hook. I had loaded it in Cleveland, Ohio and it was heading to Glendale,Kentucky. Critical load, needs to be at the receiver at 0500 local.

1. What route do you take?
2. What exit do you meet me at?
3. How much fuel do you need exactly (5mpg average)?
4. What's the latest you can leave your origin, and make it to your destination on time?

 

Do not depend on a desk jockey to be able to do your homework for you. They will fail dismally. I've had dispatchers try to coordinate a meeting between me and another driver, and I cut the dispatchers out, "give the other driver my number and have him call me."

 

Keep in mind, the goal isn't to complete the assignment. The goal is to be good at what you do.

Adios.

 

Hey gang, I got a couple PMs from people trying my little trip planning out (isn't that encouraging? I feel honored). Anyways, to be clear, that loop around Cincinnati is I275.

EDIT: The point of this exercise isn't to make anyone feel dumb or inferior. The main goal is to be as efficient with your time as possible when you get behind the wheel. The more efficient you are with time, the more potential you will have to make money. If you don't want to post your answers in public, PM them to me, and I will remove your name from the post and post them here. Good luck.

 

Alright gang, got one in. What do you think? Sharpen those pencils!

 

What did the instructor say you did wrong?
