<p>[QUOTE="Moose1958, post: 11419554, member: 54776"]A truck with a governor set to 65 is not going to make 5000 miles legally a week. You are going to do good to average much over 625 to 650 miles a day. Then after these 7 days are up you are left with little time on the 60/70 hour clock for the next week. This is why when doing this milage math I always assumed a 65 MPH truck that wants to operate 7 days a week every week is better to use 8X7X65X.9X.40 I say .9 because you can't drive 65 MPH every single minute of that 8 hours. Never forget the weekly clock and trucks with governors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
