Plan extra time, when you get behind him pull over, drink coffee, make BSG posts, execute short sales, etc. After 10 minutes, resume your drive. Even if you catch up to him, you made good money on those trades.

Ehhh it all gets tossed right into a giant compactor anyway. I still generally break down boxes except sometimes I keep one larger one intact and use that to carry the others out to the curb.
