You will figure out little things to help you make up time for instance don't dispatch until you are ready to pull out don't let the outbound sups talk you into dispatching you with the computer if they are late your trainer should have told you you have 30 min from the time you get your bills to be dispatched if they are late they are late it's not your job to make up time for them sometimes if they are actually trying and are having a hard time I will give them some time no more than 10 min but only if I can do so and still make my arrival time at my destination if not they are out of luck make sure they don't cheat on the close time on the bills if your cut is 20:00 your bills should say closed at 19:30 and make sure the trailer is physically closed a lot of times the will scan all the bills in the computer and close the trailer on time so they don't get in trouble but 10 min before your cut time the door is still up and they are still loading it. Be consistent don't stop no more tan you have to I run 600 mile a night I stop on the way use the bathroom and walk around a little takes me about 15 min on the way back I do the same sometime grab A 15 min power nap. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO STOP AND TAKE A NAP IF YOU NEED TO EVEN IF IT MAKES YOU A FEW MIN LATE as long as you don't make a habit of it nobody will say nothing just don't be ridiculously late then you will hear about it lol. Try to be first at the gate when you depart sometimes you get a slow gate guard and if your the third or fourth truck in line it can cost you 15 to 20 min easy . Arrive soon as you get on the yard unless you are ahead of schedule the unhook etc until it's your arrival time if you make a habit of arriving early they will shorten your run time . Be safe and be careful driver
