See, I'm still a solid 700+ miles from my next destination (which is NOT the final destination) - not really possible to reach with these trucks in the amount of drive time we legally have per day. Add mountains and traffic into the equation, and I'll probably get 500 miles tomorrow if I'm lucky. And the load is due the morning after tomorrow.So yesterday, when I raged about losing out on a 600 mile assignment? Apparently that's because they wanted to give me a 1100+ mile assignment O_oI told you, bro. I warned you about them wanting you to do serious shit.
Problem is it still has the same delivery date despite being almost twice the distance, so instead of a nice leisurely trip I'm gonna have to floor it the entire way and still might not make it.
BUT! If another driver is in the area and has plenty of drive time remaining, he/she/they can grab the trailer after I stop and he/she/they'll finish the trip. It's actually something this company does fairly often if a load is on a tight time limit.
