Kevin Rutherford..

It's less of a fairy tale if he really has to average over 73 mph and it's all drop and hooks. He'd have to cover a lot more distance to run out of hours on his 70 at 34-3500 miles.

Might have a chunk of hours to get him rolling on Monday to get him to the recap hours. Then get a restart the next weekend.

now 55mph? Yep that's a fantasy.

 

when you run in wide open places it's easy

 

I don't understand the surprise, that some drivers still knock out the long mi's. I'm sorry most of the drivers are stuck doing the fleet thing with all the b.s. And lack of planning. 2500 mi is only about 3.5 days work. What do you do with the other 3.5 days in a week sit on your duffs waiting for loads?. Twiddling your thumbs?. Waiting for dispatch. Freight is there to run

 

He doesn't need a restart if he runs those miles in 5 days and then has 2 days off...

I believe most of the hatred comes from the fact he is very manipulative.

 

No one is going to be able to legally log at those speeds. Average speeds are way down when you look at all the different factors that come into play. But if you are logging based on distance and a calculator it can be done.
