Just trying to figure something out here with your "averaged" 6700 mile weeks.
That's 957 miles a day.
Say the truck averages 55 MPH that = roughly the truck DRIVING 17 1/2 hours per day. Plus fuel stops, pretrips, restroom/food breaks, time at customers etc etc.
Two drivers pretrips = 30 minutes min, say one fuel stop that's 15 min, two 30 min breaks for two drivers
We're up to an extra 1.5 hours there soo say there's no extra stops and you add ONLY an hour a day for a shipper or receiver and we're at 20 hour days of working!
Just wondering how you managed sleeping while sitting next to and training for those 18-22 hours a day the truck must have been in work? -

Well you are a hard worker, kudos for that!
Cr England must have loved you and you deserved all the money you made. -
Oh, and lots of coffee. Just another reason I don't want to be a trainer again. I started CRE weighing 225lbs, 3 years later when I quit I weight 350lbs. I use to look like the rock when I started, by the end, I looked like Yokozuna.
Dinomite Thanks this. -
