    Good. I could care less if someone posted or not, I make money by driving hard, not by someone posting on these threads.

    By my calculator, that's an average of 657.142857143 miles over a 7 day period, for a total of 4600 miles. I'd think that's possible under perfect circumstances. It's an average speed of 59.7 mph. Again, possible under perfect circumstances. Our wonder boy surely isn't running in the northeast and turning those numbers though. And he's not at the truck stop lunch counter (if there's any left) telling tall tales. If he manages his time well, and can run recap hours, it is theoretically possible. Would I want to work that hard? No way. But our boy wonder may have other ideas.

    Don't be so jealous y'all.

    Thank you for doing all that figuring .It may be possible but in reality in today's trucking it's near impossible.Way too many obstacles.Besides KB is a reefer outfit the drivers have a lot of hurry up and wait loads.

    I said it was theoretically possible. Practical? Maybe, but it would have to be a perfect week

    How is that an average of 59.7 mph? To get 657 miles you would have to do 65 mph for 10 hrs straight, you can't start out at 65 mph not counting fuel stops and unloading and loading. 4600 miles? At 65mph for 10 hrs straight that's only 4557 miles for the week, I think your math is off.

    Plus he's not been with k&b 7 yrs to get .50 CPM he's prob been with them 3-4 that's .47 now that's not much of a difference but that adds even more to the impossibility

    Nobody on elogs runs 650 miles a day anyway its impossible, there would have to be no unloading/loading, no fuel stops not ever getting below 65 all day its impossible
