Hit the 70 hour wall!

Howdy ! Well we ran hard to the delivery today in Jonesboro,  Arkansas and dropped our loaded trailer.  Our next trip is now posted and it also is preloaded and ready for us out of the same place we delivered. We bobtailed to the local truckstop because we have zero time left on our 70 hour clock.  Tomorrow we only gain 6 hours, then 10 the next day and 11 after that . This means we will be hitting our 70 hour clock everyday for this next trip.  Since it will be a heavy load and many miles through the Rocky Mountains, we might not make on-time delivery . The load might get repowered in Denver or somewhere along the way unless we get a 12 hour extension that enables us to drive another day with more hours . That is a possibility since the delivery is a drop as well.  I figure we will run our hours out everyday and give it our best shot and see where things go. Should be a beautiful drive through the backroads and mountains this trip!
