    I made it from Cartersville GA to just north of Pittsburgh PA in 10 hrs & 52 minutes, loaded with 78.5k governed at 75. The route I took was just over 690 miles

    761 is the most I’ve ever logged on e logs. From Des Moines Iowa MM 125 to Sinclair Wyoming MM 221. That’s with a 75 mph truck 15k in the reefer trailer.

    I just did 654 today with 19min left on the clock, tied to 65, from South of Waco to North Kansas. Ft Worth was kind to me.

    The most I ve done was 724 from Lake Station, IN to Grand Forks with 11 minutes remaining. It was all about perfect timing Chicago and Minneapolis. Truck did 68 on cruise and 73 Passmart.

    Today 707 from Poynette, WI to Manchester, TN truck parking area

    I do quite regularly, but I run from Midwest to west coast on I 80 so 725 mile days are usually a normal run for me. Leave Omaha on Sunday Morning Deliver Tuesday In Northern CA reload and back to Omaha by Friday morning before sun ever comes up 3376 miles for the round like clock work for years. So yes it is possible

    It's very doable if you have a truck that isn't stupidly slow. I would flat out refuse to drive a truck that's limited to less then 70 MPH, unless the company paid me at least .70 CPM. At that rate I could care less if I could cover no more then 600 miles in a day. I do 726 miles on my first day ever week from just outside St. Louis to Amarillo going out to Cali.

    lol, I guess you have a point if by legal you mean within the posted limit.

    OPP won't look twice at you doing 105 in a 90. Nor will they be ticketing the 4 wheelers passing you and doing 110.

    700 in 13, not a problem. In 11 pretty unlikely in my 65mph truck.
