    Sounds to me like he does.
    Why don't you get a little more experience before spouting off and let the grown folks talk. Close the mouth and open the ears and you just might learn something.

    actually, the mountains can hold you back also.

    Well, today I did 716mi in 10hrs & 52min. With an electronic log. Not interstate either, all secondary roads. Of course they are 70mph here in Texas :D.

    I run 354 miles 5 days a week. 356 if I take a different road for 30 miles. Take a nap for as long as I want. If I need more money the wife better be looking for a second job.

    Too many variables to give a straight answer to your question. Everything depends on the speed of the truck, and what region and speed limit zones that you are running in. Mountains and city driving put a real hurt on hours versus miles driven on any given day. Only put on your logs what the DOT gods need to see..............nothing more.
