    Today I made it 750 miles (legally) on e-logs.
    Just curious what some of you more experienced drivers "best" days have been as far as miles.
    Electronic logs or even you rebels with ripped up paper logs haha

    I used to regularly drive 1,000-1,200 miles straight but I was in a stagecoach and didn't have to keep a log. If I had it would have just burst into flames.......

    Are coach drivers paid cpm like drivers or hourly?
    1,200 is a lot to do repeatedly. I drive a little over that to Florida for the holidays and it'd burn me out to do that even 3 days a week

    Loaded with oranges in small co-op Fillmore CA late at night.Super cool shipper.Gave me whole box of fruits to take home.
    Drove little bit, parked on the side somewhere on the shoulder before Victorville.Woked up 9 am and run straight to Lemont IL.
    Arrived 10 pm next day.So about 35 hours (we ran thru Salt Lake and WY).
    Tried to help guy who shut truck off on fuel island in Omaha Flying J,couldn't started again but no luck.
    Midwest cold like a..(that kept me awake), snow started in Davenport.Good few inches when I was back in the yard.

    Was young, dumb, stubborn.....Kids, DO NOT try that at home....closed course, professional driver.

    Goulds, FL (south of Miami) to Central Ohio "back in the day". Approx 1250 miles. Took 24 hours due to a 4-hour nap (I was a slacker). It wasn't so much the drive, but the multiple-stop, hand unloading tropical plants at Lowes stores on the other end that killed me! Ungoverned, loose-leaf paper logs. Worked for a crazy outlaw born-again Christian boss. Figure that one out. Glad to be done with all that BS.
