That's the way good dispatchers make the planets line up. That's the way ya hope all Shorty's work.
My first one was a 6am delivery with some layover pay built in but I thought it's early like 9 pm why not do a drive by.... Bingo they were open .... Which made available for the 2nd load.,,,

Most likely a Greensboro heading back north... At least that's what my book of notes says, but it has been a few years since I was down there.

I've done Milwaukee to Seattle in 36 hours solo. Left Friday 4 pm unloaded Sunday 5am. Great pay took in place.

That was back in march. Slept for 19 hours after that.

I did a 20 minute military nap in billings mt.

My van team had 1 run last week to Des Moines IA for 500 miles. Then this week they ran from Des Moines to NC for 1100 miles and did a pickup this morning at 6am headed to Larado for 1600 miles. Might even get lucky with another run before pay period ends.

Might hafta put the skimpy dress on again. Five calls in three hours, no joy. Even an 80cpm to Phoenix seems to have slipped away, and that's with me 12 mi from the pick :(

Got a my hot load on, hanging out at the house, dinner with my wife, then heading out, I think 12 hours is good for a 500 mile run.
