It would be possible if you drove with the very minimum break and had a high average speed. 15 min pretrip + 11 hrs drive + 30 min break +10 hr break leaves 2.25 hrs in a 24 period that you could legally drive. Presuming you took no extra breaks and drove all of it you could have 13.25 hrs driving in a 24hr period which is enough to hit 850 in a day, but not 850 in 11hrs.

Lowe's DC in Ennis, Tx to one of the Lowe's in El Paso. Therr are a few Lowe's in el paso, this one was farthest. 678 miles in a 65 mph truck. Thst hill an hour east of el Paso, i could get to 94 mph loaded. 1 stop for 30 minute break, and i think 3 others for my load checks and pee stop. Rolled in each time with 6 to 14 seconds left on my 11. Once i had to stop the truck 3 blocks from the store and go to line 4 then limp it in at 4 mph. System Transport tx regional, there were several instances where i had less than 2 minutes on my clock when i shut down.

As far as anything else, I was strictly paper. 10 hour day to 8 rest then 5 more to midnight, 1000 miles. If I had the hours Im in Boston Market from Yakima in 4 days. Usually 6. That's about 3000 miles.
My best overnight after loading is Lancaster west metals works to Idabel OK, approx 1450 via little rock-knoxville-harpers ferry That truck had coils and not particularly fast which made it a epic for it overnight. 90 was about all you can get all out of it. -

Back when I was a young dumb super trucker the best I ever did was a hair over 1400 miles in 24 hours but now 700-750 miles is all I do in 24 hours
