Think of it this way, four or five more trips and you'll have the route figured out, you'll do 600 miles a day at a leisurely pace, and have your usual stops pegged. No stress. Grossing over $1250 per week. Nobody bugging you about new "fuel solutions" or having your load repowered. No chains, only an occasional hurricane or tornado........
The only thing I can see is that there should be no need for a reset after 2,900 miles, but it may be better to take one instead of having to run on recaps on the way back or doing a 34 under load.
I'd be on that like white on rice......
In over my head??

Depends on how hard you run outbound. You don't have to reset when you hit 70 unless you don't get hours back from your recap. 2900 miles at 60 mph is under 50 hrs. How much time do you get for the trip outbound? 8.75 hrs a day and you can run forever. If you run 8.75 hrs the first three days on the road and bust it the last two days, you can come back busting it the last 20 hrs on your 70, and then mosying on in the last four days on recap.
It all depends on how much time you get for the trip, but a reset is not always necessary. -

Remember the good ole days ~ 55mph at night

Hell I remember them at 55 anytime anywhere. lol
Yea. Texas sucked when they stopped the 55 nation wide speed limit, 4 speed limits between cars and trucks, day and night in Texas, seemed like it would have kept the troopers confused. lolCabinover101 Thanks this. -
