Has anyone ever done 700 miles on elogs

I'd get fired.
I keep the door closed and truck.
If I'm not kicking off stops, and just doing a straight 11, I might avg 66/67

 

Its been 7+ years now since I last drove. My memory is not what it used to be either. I need to correct my comment. Our Company speed limit was 65 and they would grant some tolerance. Since our trucks were governed to 65 it never was much of an issue anyway.

 

Its possible, just unplug the elog.

Ive driven 630 miles in a governed 62mph truck. a 70mph truck should be able to do 700 miles in a day keeping the left door shut.

 

In 10 hours and 52 minutes @65 I accomplished 640 miles one day.

 

The problem is that you will need a garanteed parking space waiting for you on the other end of your trip, and it will need to be right there at the point where your clock runs out. Even with a high speed limit and no traffic it's really hard to do 700 miles in one go. I've done it maybe twice ever.

 

745 was the longest I ever did on elogs. Ungoverned in a Peterbilt 389 and most of that was across Texas, from the East to the West and back again overnight.

Edited to add that this was the only time I've done over 700 and wouldn't be mad if it never happened again. 698 was the second closest overnight from Texas north into Kansas.

 

You would have to average 63.5 MPH for your 11 hours of drive time.

 

Speed limit is 80 in South Dakota on I-90 , you could drive from Sioux Falls to Rapid City and back 790 miles easy in good weather and a real truck.

 

Yes it can be done. I did 704 miles in a day a few weeks ago and my truck is governed at 68
