Rest Periods

I'm wrong? Perhaps you didn't pay attention to the speeds I put in the statements...71mph average....well driver, I don't have to pee twice in a day, and i am old with a bladder that is getting tired....also I don't stop to eat in the middle..I have snacks in my reach to get me through the day...

You show 1 year experience on your info box...maybe with a little more experience you too will be able to figure out how to manage your bladder and stomach, and to time out the heavy traffic in your day of running...stop changing the parameters of the statements to coincide with your approach to trying to find errors in other drivers statements...

Or as they said in driving school and orientation...keep quiet, pay attention, you just might learn something!

 

BAM!!! There it is...Right there!

 

As i said, mine was also averaged at 65mph. However, you only accounted for driving 11 hours, and its legal to drive 14 hours a day until you run up your 70. I manage my stomach and bladder just fine, thank you. I don't care if you think i shouldnt stop to eat. Im glad you dont like my answer. Thank you.

 

Thanks for pointing that out . I wasn't thinking about a 24 hour day .

 

It is 100% legal & you can drive more then 11 hours in a 24 hour period!


edited to add that the point had already been pointed out!

 

That's true....and I have done it as well...

But....there is no way somebody could Legally drive more than 825/m in an 11 hour period.....

Do the math: 75 mph X 11 hours....

There is no way my bladder and ### would let me do that anyways.....
Most I have ever done in 11 hours and with two "breaks" was 741 miles....

 

Apples and Oranges here. You can only drive 11 out of 14, but you can drive more than 11 in 24. I could see maybe 13.50 out of 24 after you deduct 10 sleeper and 2 15 minute stops for what ever, I cant imagine less than that, even if you have to dispose of bottles or what ever. 12.50 to 13.00 is even a push but go with 13 that would come out to 910, but I would not believe it out of a solo driver. After you deduct for traffic and or weather maybe 825 or 850 max. Thats out of 24/13 not 14/11, and you could do it everyday. By pushing this hard you only pick up 2 hours in the argument. whats that 110 miles or so.

When all is said and done, who cares. It is safe steady miles that gets it done.

 

howd u do 981 mi in one day?

 

EASY!


Go 98 miles an hour for ten hours!

 

Get a triple digit truck.....
