Best laid plans

It turns out the load I'm taking isn't scheduled until 6 PM tonight so I will lose a day heading out to Massachusetts. I'm going to try to see if they will load me early so I can get down the road this afternoon. Otherwise, making this deadline will be difficult because our system expects me to load at 6 PM, possibly be rolling by 8 PM then going for 11 more hours before I shut down. My sleep schedule won't safely allow this, so instead I would have to load, shut down until the wee hours of the morning then take off which will put me in danger of not delivering on time.
