    65 mph x 70 hours = 4550. So it's mathematically possible. Just not very likely. Unless there's creative editing happening.

    Op I hope you were compensated VERY well for all that work! Just thinking of running all that makes me tired. But then again, I'm stuck mostly on little bumpy two lane roads in eastern PA most of the time. 2200 miles in a week will dang near kill ya.

    I do 4250 in 5.25 days and still have 5 hours left on my 70, so it should be possible, but I can run 75mph if needed. I hope he's getting paid by the mile and not the inadequate $37.25 per hour

    Someone cheating on there elogs. No way you can run avg of 65 mph in a truck governed at 65mph.. Lmao there things hills. Stopping and starting for 30 min brake... Pre trips and post trios. Fueling... How are you fueling? the tanker truck pull up along side you while doing 65? Cmon now...

    When you drop your trailer? You just blow past the reciever and pull thr uncouple trailer knob doing 65. Let them come and grab it off the interstate?
