I do a few multi stop loads - example: I pick up a pre-loaded trailer at XXXXX time Delivery 1 is ~ 250 miles away from my preloaded yard and delivers at 2300 Delivery 2 is ~300 miles away from 1 and delivers at 0700 Delivery 3 is ~ 100 miles from 2 and delivers at 1100

This is just an example - but pretty typical of the kind of multi-stop loads I get (I do not always do multi-stop loads - about 85% of my pics and deliveries are TL).

What I am wondering is if there is any kind of application for android or windows which will help me to plan my time out a little better to make better use of my daily 14hr/11hr day?

I think I am wasting too much of my 14hr day by leaving way too early, or just starting my 14hr clock too soon - resulting in unnecessarily burning my day. Yes, shippers/receivers do their fair share of wasting my time keeping me at a dock for far too long - but I cannot do anything about that. What I can do is attempt to optimize my time use a little better.

I am on E-Logs and cannot use paper

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

Over time experience will enable you to better manage your clocks. I don't know of any application available to assist with this.
