illinois to utah

I do too. The way I figure things out is by dividing the miles by 700 and that will give me the number of days I will be tied up on the load. With a decent 65 mph truck, even in the mountains, he should be able to make that run in 22 hours.

 

I don't want to burst your bubble but the 72hr safety check is around the clock so have a safe trip and becareful...

 

i thinking 20 hrs at best!!!!

 

I think this 72 thing is day and night

 

What I said in the post was that I trip plan against 550 miles/day.
If you plan/presume against a solid 750miles/day and ANYTHING goes wrong....I mean ANYTHING, you are screwed....

Plan for less but do more.
Under promise and over deliver.....

 

That's why I do 700.

 

Experience has shown me 600-625 is about as much as you can realistically use to trip plan.

 

Agree with the other driver. Base it on 550, i've done 715 on elogs, but never like to push it like that. You will only hurt yourself.

 

So I am not real? I am really disappointed in myself. My self esteem is really in the toilet now that I found out that I am not real. When the movie credits roll, I cease to exists and everyone else go home. Oh well, knowing now that my story ends soon, I guess I'd better be as unrealistic as I can, horrify as many as I can.

 

And if you're afraid of DOT or scales, that means you shouldn't be on the road anyway. You cannot play games.
