    Based on my gps history on my garmin, my avg moving speed for trips on the east coast is around 59 mph and trips west is 62mph…east coast can certainly be a bugger especially on i81 corridor and i95 north of Richmond and such….i use YouTube music and play unlimited music from it,,,

    Usually 6 weeks, sometimes as much as 8 depending on how much time off I need or if I have appointments scheduled for doctor etc. No less than 4 though as I like getting a good time off at home.

    Food grade schedule can be screwy also. A lot of the facilities we go to run 24/7 so late night appointments where you have to run through the night to make delivery are pretty common.

    Dairy plants can also eat up hours of your day. Using split sleeper when your 14 gets wrecked is almost a weekly occurrence.

    I’ll chime in, and try to do so later if you have any interest. End dumps have an even better schedule than flatbeds, I’ve been doing it a lot of years. You might have to reach that 2 year mark but I can point you in the direction of a few decent outfits.

    said to a guy that has trouble with impatience?

    he hates “crawling “ up hill at 55 mph - think how he is going to be at 8 mph? Hmm

    I've never done flatbed but there was a driver here that came over from flatbed and he said it was pretty much a daytime schedule.
