Narrative:

I am a part 135 cargo pilot for a company based in dallas, tx. On this date I was working in the office, doing computer work which is part of my job. I was asked to fly a cessna 401 on one of our scheduled cargo runs, as the cherokee 6 that normally flies the run had a mechanical breakdown. This occurred late at night. I had been in the office since early noon and had already conducted a training flight. The flight was normal, from dallas to killeen, and return. After I landed, I realized I had landed on the wrong runway at dallas love field. I landed on runway 31L instead of runway 31R. Tower controller did not make a big deal over it and I apologized profusely. I realized that I was very tired, having already flown for about 2 hours previously, and worked in the office. We are short of pilots and all of us are working a lot. I told of my error to our pilots and instructed them to get as much rest as possible.
