Maximizing Legal Miles Per Week.

19 years of experience? I wish you luck i really do.

 

4000k miles a on 70 hours is pretty easily done if you can avoid the major traffic areas like NYC, LA, Atlanta, I-95, ect. My all time best week was 4254 miles in 6.5 days on ELD, 100% legal.... My truck is governed at 67 mph.

But to go from coast to coast and back on the same 70 hours probably wouldnt be possible... Unless you have a truck with no governor and spend a good majority of the trip on 75 mph to 80 mph speed limited routes. Even then I dont think it could be legally done on ELD.

 

Their is no exact answer. Since running ELDs you can drive all the miles you can. It depends on whether and how fast a truck goes. If someone is running east coast to California and back. Sounds more like paper log books

 

In that thread he says he was a company driver for 19 years....so, I wonder if he also has a lot to learn about being a company driver

 

Maximize your earnings per week. Run less miles for more money. I like to drive but no way I’d want to drive 3500+ miles per week. I’d rather make the same driving 1750 or less miles. Better yet, miles don’t matter much on hourly pay

 

My truck

 

I swear I have saw your truck on I70 a couple years back.

 

Well, I just put on 1200 miles in the last day and a half.

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

 

Start Jacksonville, FL 0.0 mi 0:00 h
Stop 1 Ontario, CA --- 2,383.2 mi 36:32 h
End Jacksonville, FL --- 4,768.0 mi 73:01 h

Total hours assuming no delays for traffic etc...

 

I would like to see 75-80 mph roads east of the Mississippi. Even if there were it would be impossible to do that. You can't even average 70 on a 70 mph road. I find it hard to believe this guy is not a troll.
