    Ok that's the record. I haven't heard of anyone doing that since elogs came out. That's more than a hurricane express driver runs, That thought convoy was a documentary and hasn't been home in 72 months.

    If you are running Agricultural Exemption everyday and maxing it out, the miles rack up very quickly. Think of your regular mileage in an 11hr day then add another 300+ miles on that.

    I ran into a driver at a farm who told me he does strictly FL/GA raw milk runs. He said he drives 700+ miles everyday, 7 days a week. That's near enough 5,000 miles in one week.

    Way too much work for me but for those that can handle it, more power to them.

    Border crossing pay and percentage loads will pad out the paycheck without needing to rack up big miles.

    The one I mentioned goes home every other weekend and only lives three hours away from the consignee. It’s 640 miles per day, which isn’t anything out of the ordinary. For him, the Ag Exempt doesn’t extend his workdays. It just saves a lot of time on his 70 hour clock, allowing him to squeeze that 6th load in at the end of the week. He makes a round trip, then does a break.
     
    Friend and Knucklehead Thank this.

    Didn't ask. He said he takes his 10 at the farm. That place stunk so bad and had so mud, muck and flies I couldn't wait to get out of there. He is clearly a different kind of truck driver than myself.
