Average mph?

Yes they can average your miles vs hours, and write you a ticket.

But, you should be safe logging about 10.25 hours with that trip. If your truck is fast enough.

Many DOT are using PC*Miler to calculate times between points now. And PC*miler shows it as 753 miles.

 

Actually it's based on license plate numbers. The scale crossing times are accessible to LEO and fleet mangers at http://www.oregontruckingonline.com/cf/MCAD/pubMetaEntry/index.cfm?fuseAction=services. Oregon Scale Crossing and Reports (OSCAR) has been around for several years.

You can be cited for Part 392.2 based on your log information.

Carriers can be prosecuted for Part 392.6 when they allow a driver to continously log above the speed limit.

Be safe.

 

If you want to enjoy your time at CTI, do the run, log it however it works, dont cry, do your job. Be glad someone else broke out the crying towell when talking to a DOT officer, and they've turned up their trucks. Now you run the risk of getting a speeding violation, before you ran the risk of an OOS and falsifying your log citation.

 

I got nailed by our insurance company, not DOT for maintaining too high an average speed on several runs. My truck used to be governed at 80 mpg (currently 67 mph), and would have an average from Denver to Alb. and back (empty/loaded) of 74 mph. They reviewed it and came back that I was speeding (had to travel through Colo. Springs, Pueblo, and Alb.) in metro areas. I told them I drove with the flow of traffic, they said no excuse. Only got a written warning for it. I've had a couple of troopers during routine traffic stops raise an eyebrow at my speed averages, but never done more than that. We got DOT audits every year and they have never said anything except once on a Mtn. run where I averaged 62 mph, they questioned it because the route PC Miler told them I should have taken had a 55 mph limit, when I showed I took a different route with a higher limit they let it go.
