Morning! The bosses are scrambling to solve our dilemma. We had two hours left and 89 more miles to go to delivery. The distance alone could only be done at highway speeds. Keep in mind morning rush hour from Provo clear to Salt Lake City, then the horrible construction and it would guarantee a violation for us before we even made it! If another driver comes to take this from us, it will be good. If not, we get 14 hours back at midnight Pacific time and will run it in then. Not sure which way this will go just yet. As soon as something happens, I’ll let ya know.
We swapped trailer loads with another driver this afternoon. We will take and deliver their load Thursday morning in Salt Lake City and they took ours and took it straight to delivery in Grantsville. Sure, we could have been a “super trooper” and made our delivery but I am 100% certain we would have gotten a violation. In the end, the DOT can issue a ticket for any violation within the last 8 days. No officer would care that a load was saved, point is, we had to stay legal. These computer elogs are unforgiving and reasons don’t matter in the least.
