4000 miles a week

yes it is possible, in a perfect world, in a 70 mile per hour truck, never hitting bad weather, no mechanical breakdowns,never hitting traffic backups, never getting DOT INSPECTIONS and mostly doing drop and hooks or very extremely quick pick up and deliveries.

4,000 miles per week on a random week is not hard at all. 4,000 miles per week, every single week, you better have lady luck on your side, or be good at paper logs and creative logging.

 

you really ought to quit embarassing yourself

 

Pattyj, This is trucking. There are no 5 day weeks. 4000 Per will require about 8 days a week unless you have 400 Gals of fuel and don't shower but once every couple of weeks.

 

Are you rolling through the same country i am? 70-75mph speed limits are the norm.

 

if the speed limit is 75, you better not be averaging 75 on your logbook, are you are asking for trouble.

even logging more than 70 miles per hour is pushing your luck

 

maybe rookie has 5000 lbs in the box pulling WY
and if i am not mistaken CA is 55 try logging that over 50
knocks down the avg a lil
but maybe you dont go home

 

you can cheat that a little bit, say from Phoenix, or Flagstaff, to LA, you can still average well over 60 miles per hour even with that huge chunk of California. Once you start going from point to point in California though, then you're screwed.

 

it is the circle down 15 from Vegas to LA up the 5 and back out the 80 that ruins my 70
