    Has anyone done 3 round trips NY, NJ or PA to CA in 1 month? Is it possible? the best I have seen in my company was 2.5 trips, which is 2 round trips and 1 trip to CA.

    PA ---> CA : ~2240 straight miles around 40 hours one way, so lets say 100 hours for traffic and loading/unloading times, sleep.

    So 100÷24= 4 days flat.

    4x3= 12 days flat for 3 trips.

    Can it be done? Of course. That's not accounting for break downs, or ANY problems. Running flat out.

    I doubt you'll be doing it every month, it'll break you quick.
