not bad for a rookie

What gets me is I worked for a company that had 75+ MPH trucks. We had idiots that thought they could legally drive from L.A. to Yreka, CA or farther (640+ miles) in 11 hours because my BOSS told us that our maximum logging speed is 70 MPH. I laughed so hard the day one got pulled into a scale on I-5 and they basically ripped his logs to shreds and fined the ever loving hell out of him. Some people don't get it.

 

Great job man! Feels good doesn't it? Now all you have to do is drive that everyday and you will make money!

 

hummmmmmmmmmm

 

if no one eale will, then it falls to me...

I call bullsh!t.

Cali top LEGAL speed 55
no bathroom breaks?
no food or drink breaks?
I can see not fueling....

did you wear a diaper or cath yourself??? not joking....

I can drive all day long (8 hours) with a single bathroom break... run hard (truck governed at 70), and my AVG speed will still only be 67-68.

you WILL slow down for traffic
you WILL slow down when you see a po po.
governed at 61 I would guesstimate your AVG speed nonstop at 58 (635 miles)

I call bullsh!t...

not trying to be rude.... I just dont see it.

 

I kind of figured he meant 10 hours 55 minutes of line 3 with some line 1 and/or 2 in there also, not that he drove for basically 11 hours without stopping.

 

that WOULD make more sense...lol.... but since he hasnt clarified...lol

 

Maybe he caught a good tail wind? At 61 mph he may have bug splatters on the swinging doors instead of the windshild.

It's possible with light loads and an iron bladder to do just what he said. I couldn't do it though. My bladder isn't so accommodating.

 

Ummmmm! I'll let the newbies argue it out! Let's see who has learned the most.

 

OK,

then what did you do for the rest of the day ???

When you get 10-1200 miles a day post THAT !!!!

 

Sounds like a good day to me, I have days like that all the time....Now if only we could do that 7 days a week
