From my GPS unit today...
13:55 total time
11:02 Moving Time
Total Miles driven 667.3

I left Wapakoneta, Oh (fuel/insp # 4am) and drove to Berea, Ky, had a one hour nap, drove to Ringold, Ga for lunch (one hour) delivered in Greater Atlanta (one hour) and I am now parked in Barnesville, Ga. The only sweat I broke was unloading...I had to unchain eq and drive it off.

 

Oh.....I don't know.......I DO fill my truck up every week anyway.


About 600-1500 miles a week I reckon.



I don't get paid by the mile either.

 

Anything that's for the best interest of truckers I'm all for it. Hopefully the Gov. hurries and makes our interests his top agenda. Thanks for the info and drive safe!!!

 

When your on the road are you running 7 days a week , so running 600 miles a day would be equal to 4200 a week is that right.

 

For a week, yeah.

You're not going to be able to do that perpetually though. 70hr/8day rule kinda interrupts that.

And to all you "you can make it work" guys with the comic books: a preemptive "Shut up, I'm talking legally."

 

E- logs let you roll out west- if you've got the determination to drive 11 hours without stopping in a 70 mph truck and conditions are good, you might make the 750 club. A lot of "Compliance" people believe it can't be done.

 

Dave, I think he said log it like you drove it........unless it's illegal and then you have to fudge. Does that make more sense?

 

I comprehend, Thank's for the trucker lingo....

 

Many drivers are driving 2-7 miles over the speed limit unless they are nuetered. So if they ain't fudging....hahahaha. It's best to log 3 under the average speed limit. Then you maximize and look good at the same time. For a 65 mph truck, 62 mph, nobody will say a word. Unless you are on back roads and/or elogs. A 680 mile day is not uncommon. You drive across midnight long haul, it's possible to have a 800 mile day. It would be nice to drive consistant miles. If you graphed my daily mileage, it would look like a roller coaster.
