    It’s not possible to do that legally. I’ve done 700 - 750 miles a few times but you need the right route and good weather to do it.

    Boy putting that in writing is wild. 700 is nothing in a truck that can run the speed limit, 750-800 out west would be pretty reasonable in a truck that could run 75.

    The fact that they wrote something like that in a text message which is traceable is already a big no…. What will you get paid? $2000 a week? That’s a joke risking your license for such money. And you have to drive with illegal eld? I’d find another company or another field. Flatbed, tanker etc

    I think my personal record is 788 in a day, but thay was out west in a truck that could do 75 and took my entire 11. 900? No way no how. You would either be doing over 90MPH on average or running way outside your HoS

    To make it clear, I’m not taking the job but I wanted 2nd opinions on this. I was hoping they were exaggerating with the amount of miles but they doubled down. As some of ya’ll said, maybe she means a team driver type of thing
