Hmm, what times of day are those deliveries? and to whom do they deliver? You're right, those three are hard choices--bad either way-- assuming early morning delivers with each-- (1) is 322/2days=161 a day (2) is 465/2days=232 a day (3) is 1031/3days=343 a day so I too would have gone with (3)--- assuming they all have delivery appontments= before noon. The other two are crap loads and anything out is crap. Crete has always sucked for loads or getting anyone home who lives too far south and I-10 is horrid period.

I sent 3 Transflos before I went to the house and got back to the truck and 2 came over the Quallcomm that was supposedly never sent. I went from a very good week for my home time to a crappy payday week. So with them two loads and this In. load I will have a good week hopefully.
Did you Transflow your trips via laptop or truckstop.
