    I can't hardly drive a 70 truck I'm 61 yrs old and I find myself trying to push the accellerater through the floor for 11 hrs straight.....my adrenaline and energy feeds off mileage and speed and longhauls....give me a C2C run and I start chompin at the bit like a race horse wanting out of the gate....
    Wanting to top my best C2C....of 42.97 hrs legal.
    Put me on regional circular midwest runs....and you find your truck parked in my driveway my resignation in your email....because I couldn't take the boredom any longer....allergic to detention and daily lives....can't do reefer.....
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    Well I looked at it like 1200 loaded miles. If you had to do a decent deadhead, which often I do, then they may schedule an extra day; but no I dont work Prime. Lol, you are right, 4000 per week ain't impossible, just rare for me these days. Hell rare for the majority of drivers out here.
