    Every day is different..

    On longer runs I'd try for a minimum of 700 a day, if I was running from our yard in NY to say Cali once out of the northeast I would shoot for 1000 a day.....Some days I'd make 1000 some days I'd get tired and park it just depends on how I felt..

    Isn't that a fact...

    Seriously, 600-700, depending on how your day goes, whether you killed 4 hours loading or unloading, how long you waited for your next load... whether you had a breakdown, or if stopping at 450 miles while in Knoxville because there's a TA across from your favorite karaoke bar and they do karaoke on Thu/Fri?Sat and it's either Thu/Fri/or Sat.. and you don't have to be in Connecticut until Monday morning.
