Murray and I have it worked out about anything over 700 miles after 5pm is pretty much a no go IF it is direct....put a few extra for a power nap...changes the whole picture...and final delivery point has to be taken into consideration as well....

Getting older or doing this too long .....not sure which . Although these late nighters are never easy . I'm currently waiting on an 8 o'clock pick up here in Green Bay going 500 . Not looking forward to it.

P/U and delivery can be a royal p.i.a. sometimes.
I'm doing it alot lately. That's why I enjoy going OTR once or twice a week.
