711 miles in 1 day

Nope...13.75, actually--0001 to 1100 = 11.00
-----------------------2100 to 2400 = 3.00

Since you have to show a pre trip or post trip, either side you get your fuel to combine the PTI with fuel...leaving 13.75 for a legal log for the 24 hour period.

But you are all missing the key issue...he is running out of the top of GA across TN then KY, and going through IL. The route does not really allow for anything over 65 (legally) and most will be under 65...IL is 55 remember, (but we all know we can get away with 60-62) but with these limits, a legitamate average would be 57-59 for the entire trip. So given this: 58 x 13.75 = 797.5 miles could be done in the 13.75 hours...not allowing for traffic problems or the like.

Roadmedic..put away your stethescope..we have achieved an 11-44 issue here! Unless someone wants to argue and create a 51-50 environment!

 

You only have to show on-duty not driving time for 1 inspection per day unless hauling Hazmat per FMCSA guidlines.

 

Nobody knows which route he took except him though He might have came up I65 thru Indiana and cut across I-74 alleviating much more of the 55mph stretch thus allowing him a much higher average speed.

 

To the poster who claimed more than 600-650 miles a day would throw up red flags and be questioned that's a joke. I often log 690 - 700 miles a day in a 65 mph truck and have never once been questioned about it even through a DOT audit because ALL my receipts and time stamps match within a few minutes. It's really not that hard to do if you run when you have hours and minimize your stopping time.

 

True, but remember he said rookie status, and no time with trainer, so probably doesn't know that planning option!

 

Just exactly what do you mean by "Big Training Companies"?

 

I said in a 11 hour day, so if you log 690-700 in 11 hours-in a 65mph truck, more power to you. I know better.............

 

Nothing to know better about when it's completely legal and everything matches and it's 100% logged as done. As I said before it's not hard to do if you keep the left door shut. Also as far if they get suspicious I could care less I don't worry about inspections cause I have nothing to worry about. I know my stuffs in order.

 

Now thats funny. Am I the only one who saw this? It's pathetic but Bucktrucker is right on the money. Why do you folks find this an acceptable way of being paid? Short miles? I don't get it?

Drive safe

 

You wasted 2 hours... You only need a 34 to get your 70 back.

Don't start lying... You only need to log one.... And flag the other. Pre-trip, post-trip, it doesn't matter which one you log unless your specific company makes a requirement.

11 hours X 65 mph = 715 miles! Oh, I love math! Plus that gives him an extra 3 hours to do his VI's & fueling!!!

I get paid hub miles....
