NYC? 5 Stops By 2pm? Challenge Accepted!
Topic 26438 | Page 2
Are you going from White plains to Brooklyn then back to the Bronx? Wouldn't it make sense to go white plains, Bronx, Brooklyn?
It was a preloaded trailer so I didn't have any choice in the way it was stacked, but now that you mention it, yes it would make more sense to go to Bronx before Brooklyn. I'm pretty sure the load is stacked in such a way that I can switch the two stops.
Hey! Only 2 of those are NYC!
Ha! Yeah well as far as I'm concerned, anything within a 50 mile radius of NYC...... might as well be NYC. OK, so 4 stops
And holiday traffic on Monday. Good luck!
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I hope you can reach ur destination via 476/ridge pike in conshy. And not i76. Rough time ouch. Though, G-town would have more insight as a driver.
I grew up near conshy in Gulph mills. Cant wait for updates! Good luck!
Yo you seemed like a nice guy when we met a while back. What did you do to deserve this lol
Yes I'll likely stay at either the Frystown flying j or Hamburg Loves tomorrow, then drop down 476 from Allentown late mon evening and stay at the rcvr. Untarped, unstrapped, full clock and ready to go when someone shows up.

Right place at the wrong time lol.
I originally put in to be home over the holiday weekend. The plan was to be home 2 days ago. They had me all set up for that.
A week or so ago I came down with a growing toothache. So in order to see my dentist, I had to postpone home time until next week. That threw the pre-plan out of whack, and this is the load they came up with to get me home.
On top of that, unbeknownst to my dispatcher , the shipper surprised us by adding the Brooklyn stop. That wasn't part of the original dispatch.
To be fair, my dispatcher offered to try and find me something else. But I said I'll give it a shot with the understanding that it may not all happen in one day. Worst case, I'll have to finish the drop Wednesday morning, and I can still make it home in time for my dentist appt.

O man... This load and the dentist all in the same week... I don't think anybody deserves that.... Except maybe Todd
Well it sucks, but when you help out your dispatcher they're more willing to help you when ya need it.
