No 2 a.m. parking at truckstops?

With a 30 minute break and no other stops, that’s a 73mph rolling average. There are very few places that’s possible.

 

Nebraska and Wyoming... If you have the ponies for the hills.

 

Wow. How and why are you running that many miles daily?

 

I usually run 650+ a day... How many miles do you run??? My last run was 4676 paid miles in 9 days with a 34 hr reset after 2300 miles (Idaho Falls, ID to Charlottesville, VA with 2 load points in southeastern Idaho, first drop in Columbus, OH... second drop in Charlottesville, VA) at the end of day 3.

The back trip took much longer as I had to wait to get load, and wait at 2 different drop locations. But the whole trip (Idaho, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado, Utah, and back to Idaho) I only used 74 hrs and some change.

 

Dang, my abbacus must be broke again! Dumb thing.

4pm -215 am is 10 hours, 15 minutes. Take out a half hour for Obama break, that leaves 9 hours and 45 minutes. Half hour for pretrip/post trip, now you have 9 hours, 15 minutes. 565/9.25= 61.3 mph.

What am I missing?

 

I did it a few times across Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, but I was also using paper logs and "may" have stretched them just a bit. You can't do those speeds through SLC and a few other places up there, so you'd just about have to be going 80 mph for a lot of the way. Anybody doing it regularly must have a dedicated route in those same states. Doubt if it's possible otherwise.

 

I own my truck. I start yawning once I hit 300 miles in a day... LOL. I average around 2200 miles a week... I used to drive lots of miles as a company guy, dont miss those days though, got pretty burned out doing that.

 

Haha, you’re right. My bad, I apparently can’t do math tonight. Thanks for the light-hearted response instead of taking me out behind the wood shed, lol

 

Yeah id like to own my own truck... Maybe someday. I dont have to run as hard as I do... At the company I drive for we are self dispatched, but the harder I run the more time I get to spend at home with the wife and kids. I'm trying to get 15,000+ miles this month before the weather gets really bad and I have to slow down some. As of today I have about 6500 miles this month so far.

 

Sorry for the bad math, somehow I forgot how a clock works, lol.
