Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

I always wonder why they offer better pay if you are worth that shouldn't you of been getting that before

 

Guys, legally you could drive almost 1k in a day if you started at midnight. The way my former friend explained was drive your 11 @ 70 mph and that's 770 miles. Take your 10. Combined with pre trip, fueling and your 10, your at 22hrs. Drive another 210 miles @ 70mph and your at 980 miles for the 24hr period. Anyone done this before???

Oh.... we were talking in a day?

I just meant non stop...lol

After I run 600 or so in a day that is enough for me anymore... I'm getting too old now...

 

I thought the same thing but thought I would throw that out. My personal best is 615 miles from NY to MI.

840 that way in a GTI Columbia Governed @60. Log book showed 14hrs drive 10hrs off duty. They verified my paper logs with trailer tracking, came back "close enough".

I did a few ugly sleeper splits in the last truck but do not remember the 24hr drive numbers.

with the 30 minute break rule you now have to do 2 shifts between 7 and 8 hours with a 10 in the middle. or sleeper splits to get 14hrs drive in a 24 hr period.

 

In a Crete slow truck I ran 628...truck ran 62.
