    Man thats a question that will get 20 other answers(lmao)
    But example 50 miles per hour,equals 10 hour.
    Yes i know some of you say well i can go 62.2 miles per hour and get there way early !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But my answer is a start,or ask your dispatch or other drivers.

    That's what I would do. Even if the truck ran 75mph you're never going to average that unless everything goes perfect.

    Depends on the load. If you have a hot load they don't give you any extra time. Most loads you want to get there as soon as possible, that way your dispatcher can be booking you on your next load. Try to get in 500-600 a day and you will do good.
