What do 4,000 miles a week look like

4000 is possible on elogs in a 65 MPh truck. Here is 3539 mi in 6 days@ about
61 hrs this includes pre/post and fuel time.

 

Illegal if you do it every week lol

 

Your life would easier in a fast truck

 

It's possible, but it's not fun. Only done it on paper.
Your body will hurt.
Let's put it this way. 3400 miles in a week for a solo is getting after it pretty good, and you will be tired. I was doing that regular, with a 34. This is paid miles.
I know one guy, same carrier, does 3600 paid weekly.
He drives at 72 plus everywhere he can though.
And if you're just starting, you need to think in the 2800 range.

 

I just beat my personal record with a 4,483 mile week on ELOGS, in a 74mph truck. I got parked for a 34 with 14 mins to spare on my 70. This trip was made tough trying to readjust my sleep schedule to run nights to make my early AM appointments, but otherwise not really difficult. I had quite a few stops but I was usually in and out in 15 mins.

 

You wanna stay away from those companies or running for one person.You can't get 4000 miles a week legally and I think in a short time You would get tired driving 600 miles every day and knowing that company they'll tell You how to fudge your logs So You .You can make a comfortable wage at 2500 to 3000 miles a week.

 

You can drive 4000 miles in one weeks but it is impossible to do every week without driving illegally. I know moron who drove 5600 miles in one week with louse leaf and coast to coast loads

 

4,000 miles looks like 21,120,000 feet.

 

This was on a dedicated customer account hauling a Conestoga. I was live load and live unload at each drop, but I had priority delivery and pick up, and each pickup was made at the same drop, 0 deadhead miles. I ended that week with a total of 4152 due to my running to the house for my reset. I had 12 minutes left on my 70.

 

In the old "Chris Christopherson days" it probably was done.Nowadays too many rules and regs...not to mention traffic ,cops and road construction to run like an outlaw.My biggest week was 3500 miles and know it wasn't average or easy.Like they said 2500 average.
