Well, I can't speak for others, not sure if it's picking up in general, but I've been runnin' like crazy!! My last 2 pay stubs show around 3500 and 4000 miles, and this next one is shaping up to be at least 3k or more... Hopefully everyone can run this hard if they want. I haven't taken a 34 in a month, making appts. with sometimes as little as 30 mins to spare, using every available hour and not very many breaks. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep this going!!! Hope everyone else gets the miles they need and want...

 

Perhaps you can explain the physics behind being able to run 4,000 miles in a 7 day pay period when your truck is goverened at 61 mph, your average overall miles per hour would be 57 at most, you're on a 70 hour in 8 days clock, etc.

Sorry for being a doubting Scooter, I just think that's a little far fetched.

 

Have you ever had a run on one paycheck that should have been on a previous one? I have, and it can inflate your mileage on the paystub, but not the log.

 

Here, I will break it down

In a 70 hrs in 8 days scenario, you can be on-duty/driving 8.75 hrs per day for 8 days in a row. If you took no 34 hr break in over a month as you say, you would be able to drive after pretrip, post trip and fueling no more than 8 hrs per day on average for 8 consecutive days in a row before you would get back any time from your first day of the 70 hr 8 day clock.

8 hrs a day of driving average at even 57 mph average is 456 miles per day in 7 days is 3,192 miles.

 

Of course I've had overlapping miles that have gone from one check to the next. However, that is NOT a true weekly average.

 

I wasn't saying that those were actual miles driven in a week, just what was showing on my paystubs... Last 7 days from my log total at 3,450.9. Which seems pretty good. Now if I could only go 70mph... Hopefully this keeps up, gotta get those debts paid off ASAP! Hopefully we can all be this busy...
