What's not possible? Sure, if you do the math by the book, and do all that quantum physics stuff that new drivers think they need to do...
Anything is possible, like 1171 miles without opening the driver's door..
People say you can't drive without insurance, yet millions of Americans do it every day.
People say you can't marry relatives, yet people in Kentucky and Arkansas make exceptions every day.
There's a HUGE difference in something you shouldn't do, or something that might be illegal, versus what is POSSIBLE.
How many miles do you OTR drivers usually average per day?

The question was average miles per day !!!!!!
-
Possible? 700 a day. Actual? 400, depending on your company and how you run.
-
Usually around 650 or so the past 5 years. My record is 1200 running hurricane relief.
Back when I ran produce, 800-850 was common.
Times are changing. -
Best I have ever done is 730 running west on I-90 or I-80 ran my 11 hours without stopping. Not something I could do everyday.

I usually enjoy reading your post but I am pretty offended by you Kentucky comment.
Not trying to highjack the threadAsphalt Cowboy 33 Thanks this. -
If possible, I don't stop with less than 650 or 11hrs, whichever comes first...
>>>> People say you can't marry relatives, yet people in Kentucky and Arkansas make exceptions every day.
That's total crap...You might date them, but marry, aint happenin!SingingWolf Thanks this. -
650 a day is a very long day, considering traffic, construction, fueling, bathroom breaks etc. A 1000 a day, while possible, (that being a 20 hour day with absolutely perfect conditions) ain't happenin' day in and day out. Even 550 a day for 6 days in a row will beat you up. I'll debate this with anyone.
SingingWolf, end of the road, corneileous and 6 others Thank this. -
If you want average, I'd say 2400 - 2800 per week. So that would be 480 - 560 per day. Of course you can legally run 620 - 680 per day but on the average that isn't going to happen.
