[QUOTE="RooLogi, post: 12209420, member: 338109"]I am curious how many miles per day most of you are averaging in a non-team setup. I had a dispatcher call to pitch me the other day and he was giving me an example of the loads he would have for us. He was telling me that a 1,400mi trip (from Minneapolis to PA) should be able to be delivered in 2 days. Pickup would have been on a Monday at 7am CST to be delivered by EOD Tue. How can that be possible? What am I missing? With fuel stops, mandatory breaks, and overall HOS rules I just can't see how someone is getting 700mi per day. Also, keep in mind the snow has started to fly, and this route goes through major cities with rush hour, etc. He tried telling me that my driver must not be very strong, but he's been driving CDL for 20+ years for some of the biggest companies out there.
