    Question : (a) How Many Miles can you LEGALLY Drive in 70 Hours ?

    (b) Can you LEGALLY TWICE Drive Coast to Coast ( East Coast to California ) and Back.

    And please Spare me Your Hate for California.

    If You want to walk away from the 6th BIGGEST ECONOMY on the Planet !

    I say : THANK YOU !

    That just means there's MORE LOADS for me and the other Drivers that want to make Money !

    Keep on Truckin'.....

    I ran my 44k miles last year, that’s enough for me, don’t want to work like a rented mule.

    Try to maximize profit first then try adding miles.

    I’ve never had anyone do over 3700 miles in a week. That was hitting 5 docks and by the book on e log.

    I can get about 1200 miles a week, maybe a little more if I’m feeling ambitious

    I've done 4400 in 74 hrs and that was not a happy week for me ma to rapid city sd and back. Money is more important then miles and sometimes you gotta run the miles to make the money. 8.75 per day on duty and drive and you can go endlessly your a big boy you can figure it out but don't base it off running 75mph everywhere
