Time Estimate Driving Austin to Seattle

Divide the total miles by 55 MPH, that should give you an estimate with 99% confidence.. ofcourse exceptions like check the weather in every state along the route do exist .. I can't predict the weather along your route all the way out in March!

 

10/4 not a dumb thread at all.. but adjust your estimate once you get closer to Mid- March... At this point only God Knows...LOL.. All The Best..

 

You could just put it in any GPS and get the answer. since you will be driving team it will be pretty close to the actual time. Add about 6-8 hours just for fun.

My questions to you are, why are you scheduled for a load 3 months in advance?
Why do you even know about it this early?
Why worry about it at this time, because it may not be there in 3 months?

 

Big convention up there in March, that might be it.

 

Just go to google maps. Type in the addresses. Divivde total miles by 60 mph average , get your answer.

 

If the truck only does 70, you will be driving 5 mph below the speed limit. The trip will take approx 40 gours driving, weather depending.

 

If it was all federal interstate highway in good weather I'd figure 50-55 mph average speed.
Google shows 33 hours of driving at an average of 65 mph. There's no way I would expect to average 65 mph. That's expecting a lot and assumes speeding through small towns, which is expensive and time-consuming. Calculate at 50-55 mph and you don't have to have a Nascar pitstop/bathroom/fast-food break in under 3 minutes per stop.

The UT section is quite empty and nice before getting on I-70

 

How many times will you stop in 2,000 miles? Fuel or otherwise? When we do long team runs, I figure on making more stops than when running single. Just works out that way. Fuel stops, tinkle stops, food stops, 30 minute breaks.

55 MPH average, and that's running fairly hard.
