No, way. You need to be over the hill into SF by 04:30 or sit in a giant quagmire of traffic.
Nobody wants that run because it sucks. Maybe if you know the route/area like the back of your hand and can avoid the interstates/freeway you will make better time.
Your not going to sleep in and roll out at 06:00 for a regular days work. The last 20 miles is going to take 3 1/2 hours.Lepton1 and otterinthewater Thank this. -
I run 62-65 in California on any wide open interstate or 99 and never have a problem. Certainly you can average 60 in between stops and barring traffic problems or construction areas. But my judging it can't be done (3,700 miles/wk) was partially based on a somewhat lower speed avg than you could do between Needles and Amarillo for instance

That’s about it for my Spanish.Lab work Thanks this. -
You do know that it is up, unload, rest for 10 and then down?
You won't get 3700 miles, you will get 2590 at best. The time that it will take you to get there is really not important because you have 11 to burn and you will use at least 8 of it getting there.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
That’s what I wanted. Clarification on the projected time and number of legs I could theoretically make.
I’m just looking forward to getting my own real world experience.
