Definition of "running hard"?

I think the only hope of running close to that again is by taking advantage of the 150 Air Miles exemption on both ends of the load.

 

Coast to coast to coast in 7 for 3 weeks straight was running hard.

 

Missing the ashtray I see

 

They don't usually ask me to see a log book if I'am loaded .. last time 1 asked me .. I said ok but it's ugly .. and these girls are tired of this joy ride ..I just got a... never mind get out of my sight

 

I believe I have heard of a fellow who might still do that, especially when the COVID exemption was still on.

 

that is awesome, thanks dude

 

So i gather this has nothing to do with watching Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis run the 100 m sprint?

 

Not for most of us, no.

 

In the day, someplace, somewhere on this forum, there are pics of 1000+ mile days.

I think it's very subjective to the individual.

Our Operations Manager has turned our current outing into one of her Master Trips.

We've been out for 12 days and are at 5801 miles.

We may have to pull up do to mechanical ( Radiator ). It's sitting in our connections office.

I'm getting to be an old man. So anything longer than two weeks, I start to wear down a bit, subject to how rested I was when we started the current cycle.

If the Radiator were not an issue, do to the loads we have booked, we'd be out for at least 21 days, or longer.

The amount of TOTAL BS that occurs during a trip will start to wear on you.

Lack of good food will start to wear on you.

There are people that are agast at the very thought of spending the night at a truck stop.

There are people that are right at home.

Our OM could run you until you F die if that's what you wanted.

But when you get worn down, you start to make mistakes, which are unforced errors, and they can eat up some coin.

So at that point it's time to go home for awhile.

 

Never heard a more true statement Dave. Right on the money. I haven't been out here on the road very long. But I've learned that lesson the hard way, more than once.
