The longest drive

My best so far, in a 65mph truck, is 657 miles. Nothing special, But, so far it is the most I've done in a regular,14 hour shift. I did do about 780 miles one day. But, that was because I had my 10 hour in the middle and the milage was an accumulation from 2 different 14 hour shifts that were within the same day.

 

Three I can think of Logan UT to Ontario CA drove right through non - stop not sure how I managed the paper work on that trip, 733 miles. Second was from Logan UT - Modesto CA 755 miles missed my time slot by 1 hour and was made to wait two days before they unloaded me, the third was from Logan UT to Carthage MO 1200 miles .and the last hot load I did for the company as it was not worth the trouble anymore.

 

Dallas TX to city of industry around 1400 miles. Relax for 1.5 days and return. Did that on the regular for awhile

 

In the old days, Federal Way Washington to the TA in Fort Bridger Wyoming, 930 miles. It was a beautiful day and night so I kept on going. In the modern era I’ve done 727 on my elog from Sabetha Kansas to Bryan Texas. Most days of full driving are 600-650 miles. Fridays are my easy day as I’m always within a few hundred miles of home at the most.

 

Regularly used to run Minneapolis to Phoenix leaving sat at noon and deliver Phoenix Monday morning..of course I picked up 2 hours with the time change.. on all my log books.

 

I've done 715 or so legal a few times, on ELD but in my ungoverned truck. This was on i90 to/from Seattle I'm sure. I've done that run lots.

Twice lately I've crossed the country in a personal and done right at 1000. I know that's no huge feat in a personal vehicle but you can't argue that it isn't a long arse day.

 

Longest trip was in 1990 or 91.
Band gear from Los Angeles to Halifax Nova Scotia in 5 days.
Nowadays I can do 14 hour day and drive under 20 miles...lol

 

Back when I was a wee lad I drove my 68 Oldsmobile from Reno to Minneapolis without shutting it off. Started in the bay but the headers overheated the starter so just fueled it running after that and drove straight thru.
