I'm calmed down now lol... just got my dander up...ya cant let a customer dictate safety. I understand the need for speed.. but I wager "most" drivers don't run 1000 miles full out straight thru.... ya run fast enough to build up a break, stretch your legs, etc... then get there on time... if customer can demand faster average than 50 mph or so, over 1000 miles, they are demanding you be unsafe, in my opinion. They should be told 50 mph avg, not fast as possible straight thru. Sure Im gonna drive 65-70 where its legal lol .. and I will need a short break... dispatched at 50 gives me that time. But I dont wanna be told I absolutely CAN'T stop, even if I built up the time.

I got the reverse problem this weekend. Too much time (Delivers Monday) and nowhere to sleep

Dispatch made it up to me and got me a nice weekend run to chattanooga Tennessee.!!

I just delivered in Chattanooga. It's hot here. All weekend. Bring your flip-flops. I just picked up a load in Atlanta, and when traffic finally clears out I'm heading to somewhere in SE Michigan (shocking, I know) for Monday delivery. In the meantime I'll sleeping the good sleep for the first time all week. Been running quite a bit. If it weren't for the ability to sleep while loaded, I'd have never been able to do anywhere near what I've done this week.

Ken Lowry's tire center, at the intersection of Wal Mart and the road going to The Ford plant...Chamberlain? Is an excellent place to deal with also.Sorry about you're luck, Dennis.I passed you last night on you're way down.
