Actually, to worry about the clock is a fools game. We are in a business when done correct you should never have to even take a 34 hour restart. Mice on a wheel. Just spinning away.

It gets me about 45-50 miles or an hour down the road further each day I am out. At the end of the week, it's a good day or more I have gained. I can turn 660-670 or more miles where others are complaining they can maybe get 600-610 in a day. A slow day for me is 640-650 miles.

getting caught on the docks can knock me down to 400-450 depending on how much of the 14 hour clock they eat up.

I put this up in another thread.

Gives someone an idea how they can run and what they might have to do if they run hard enough to force a reset.

I am learning I like to force myself into a reset. Running 8-9 hours a day continuously burns me out faster it seems.

You clearly haven't read any of my rants, ahhh, posts. Last year averaged less than 2000 miles a week. My O/O's do about that and net far more than when they ran 3000 miles in a dead end mileage lease.

You have been taught miles = money by people who make huge profits off you blindly following this lesson.

For every change there is a cost. You are trading time for fuel.
