    Yikes dude, calm down. We get it, you wish you were a truck driver. But what you described was a 34.

    I wish I was?....whatever...what I described was a 24 and a 34 completed by 20:00 on day 8....I have no problems getting coast to coast legally and safely in record transit time and avg. 68 mph over 44 hrs transit time in a 74 mph truck....whether you think I am a driver or not I have the log screenshots and bol showing 24 hr early delivery ........so maybe I don't wish to be whatever you think a driver is.If you have nothing but insult to offer then I guess we are done.
    But pick a sabbath day 7 or 8....8 has beasts mark so better to choise everyday than only day 8.

    If you really wanted to get the most work out possible you'd run 70 hours in 140 hours. 10 on, 10 off, then a 34. If you wanted to run recaps you could just run 8.75 on every single day and 15.25 hours off and never need to run a 34. If you ran 10 every day on the regular you'd need to take a 34 on the 8th day anyway, unless you're just trying to run stupid.

    Define stupid however you like you can't run 70 in 140 because you have 3.5 hrs of dot break/fueling within the 70/140 ...so that's actually 73.5/143.5...
    It appears you're missing the point....that a 34 isn't required....to keep running 10's off recap day 9 at 00:00 hrs....also seems you're missing the point that if you start day 1 on 00:00 hrs you can complete a 34 by around 20:00 hrs day 8.
    Actually by reg you also lose 70 mins for 7x 10 min. Pretrip OD....and lives would add 10 min. each end per load if you have to live.....by reg for a legal log. even with dedicated drophooks with bills at or on the trlr you probably should log 5 mins. X say 7 for another 35-45 max.
    You could also change it all together and start the 34 earlier clocking 10 mins ODPT 10 hr D... .5 OFF DB... 5 mins OD drophook=10.75 leaving 3.25 each 24 for 10 min. ODPT & 3hr 5 min drive. Increasing 70 consumption exhausting 70. In 5 days and starting 34 reset by day 6....say -04:00 allowing for fueling time/dotbreak....overruns completing around say 14:00 day 7.....
    Presumably with Ideal set up conditions you could run about or almost 90 hrs in 8 days X....including a 34 reset....or "STUPID"...if that's what you mean or prefer.
    A perfect storm occurring potentially could= for a .65 cpm co.driver .....in 7 day 80 hr drive X....if you are running a 75 mph truck 65 mph avg. out west....that would be $ 42.25 hrly or $3,380.00 gross in 7 days.
    Not very likely but potentially possible at perfect Ideal arranged conditions assuming no unseen delays preventing 65 mph averaging.....
    I drove a C 2 C....from Chico CA to Havre de Grace MD approx. 3175 miles in a 74 mph gov. truck in 4 drive shifts and avg. over 68 mph. and arrived 30 hrs early....parked on locked closed gate of consignee unloaded first 07:00 24 hrs early. Called dispatch said hurry up!.... I'm tired of sitting around doing nothing. Logged 806 mile one shift...799....785 couple more....cake walk slam dunk. I don't like lives and watching the unpaid clock burn up....2+ hrs everyday.
    Give me C2C's or dedicated drophook turn burns.....
    SOCIAL DISTANCING !!!

    I want to go faster so I can get a sticker that says 5 million miler! and it only takes me half the time. plus it feels good to pass all the trucks doing 65. The only time i get that good feeling is when we are going up hill because we always run light. Frito Lay
