    OK...55 mins. divided by 60 mins= .9166 of an hour.

    So,

    10.9166x59.81716=653.

    Now we get into how many miles of roads were limited to 55, 60, 70, or 1837 miles per hour.

    Either way, not a bad days work, man!

    The original post spelled it out. 653 miles in 10 hours AND 55 minutes. That's 10.92 hours (rounded). 653 miles divided by 10.92 hours = 59.79 mph. That leaves almost zero time for anything other than driving. His pickup and delivery spots must have been pretty close to the interstate and his directions were probably good.

    Nice job.

    All kidding aside, he did great! I can't imagine sitting in the truck for almost 11 hours without stopping. My bladder would not last that long. Hell of a good day though...

    Man, you got that right! I did 661 one day last summer along 10 in FL/AL with one break. Just can't do it as often as I could in my 30s....:biggrin_25513:

    He said he did it on a Sunday, probably didn't need to pick up and just the one drop at the end!

    wonder how many pee bottles he racked up? ;)

    Good haul though.

    No pee bottles left in the truck silly. They are all lying in the ditch beside the interstate. LOL
