Most Legal Miles in one 11 hour shift

Except that you overdrive even your high beams at 55-mph.

I-80 from Omaha to Salt Lake City at 75 MPH.

72 MPH (average) x 10.96 hrs = 789 miles

@ 78 MPH

74 MPH (average) x 10.96 hrs = 811 miles

 

With old incandecent bulbs yes... But have you sat behind the wheel of the new Volvos with the LED head lights? And yes mine are aimed correctly, I rarely get flashed... But I can see farther with my dims now than I could with my brights previously... And I think I can see the next state with my brights on, lol.

 

Go and measure. Full distance to a complete stop including reaction time

1200-1500 feet. And we argue with ourselves whether it’s an illusion. An elk is an elk in daylight. A big weird shadow at night. .

Interstates rhensekved are better than they were circa 1969. Signage and markings. Reflectivity.

But Dark is dark. We can’t see as far.

There’s no nighttime justification for daytime speed limits.

I, too, like the low traffic. 11-pm to 11-am. I may start in the dark, but I never willingly choose to end the day that way.

did 632 today in a 65 mph truck with over an hour left on the clock.

 

Normal many days for me. Just past what I WANT to do.

 

Being in a 65 mph governed truck, my max would be approx 700 miles after 11 hours. Go more at your risk.

 

Nah. That'd never work.
