Miles Driven Per Day

Online everyone claims to have a 70+ mph truck, but in reality few can get past 65.

 

well I went from Houston to ft worth back to Houston reloaded then to little rock,ar I went sometimes two a week so about 1k miles so I'm glad I'm on elogs now I hung up my cape

 

1100 ÷ 25 = 44 avg.

If someone is only averaging 44mph there's a deeper issue.
I've never sat in enough traffic to drive my trip avg to 44 over 1100 miles.
I rarely top 70... it's a fuel waste.
(and yes... I can)

Lots of drivers complain about not making money, but they lack the inner drive to GO.
You see them, like I do. Can't go past a truck stop without whipping in for a Mtn Dew and a Little Debbie snack cake.
All that stopping and starting WILL drive your average down.
When it's go time... it's go time. You can still do it safely. Just keep the door closed.

 

The most miles ever was 875 in a 63 mph truck. I was teaming, and my co-driver and I got into a little pissing match. I "won." Our log books did not.

Nowadays, everything is strictly by the book, not even remotely illegal. I drive 300-650 miles in a 68 mph truck on runs that are either hourly or mileage. I like it.

 

Thats about 850 miles give or take, my est would have been 13 to 14 but 12.5 would certainly be do able

 

The run I do now is 472 miles at .5975/mi. I work 8.5 hours and I go home. not a bad run.

 

oh NOICE.

A little bit of legal precision.

NOICE. NOICE and NOICE.

 

I seem to average 350 miles per day, @ 5 days per week and I do pretty well.
