975. Would leave Niagara, Wi at midnight on Sunday and get to Maple Grove, Mn. about 6:30 a.m., be unloaded by 7:30 a.m., back in Niagara about 1:30-1:45, drop and hook and be back on road by 2:00-2:15 and back in Maple Grove by about 9 that night. Then I could sleep till 6 the next morning. Did that for about a month.

If it was legally possible to do, I'd say I went from Post Falls, ID to Beach, ND on a Saturday, then onward to South Beloit, IL on Sunday. But that wouldn't be legally possible so I won't say I did it.
This thread reads like the minutes of a meeting of The Society of Swollen Ankles.

I'll fess up. I once didn't drive from the Orlando, FL area to Rockford, IL in one shot. It wasn't like 1150 miles or so.
I also didn't drive from Green Bay, WI to Los Angeles in 48 hours. And I certainly didn't drive from Green Bay, WI to Orlando, FL in 24 hours, because that would be illegal.

Pulled out at 4 PM sun, backed into the dock a 4 AM mon. 835 miles. 4 hr nap in the dock and went 80 mi to load took another 2 hr nap in that dock then 935 miles to unload the next morning. I don't do that crap anymore. Who can guess what kind of wagon I was pulling to get a 4 hr nap in a dock?

Four of us running daycabs didn't haul well drilling rigs from Edwardsville,Il to Oskaloosa, Ia and then bobtail back, only 605 miles but mostly 2 lane back roads....did you know that when you are tired...the back of a bobtail kinda looks like a giant bat when seen from a distance?:zzz:

Did a round from Brokaw, WI to Lancaster, NH, drop n hook, and back to Brokaw. Only did that one once, but another driver that was doing that for about 3 years is now in a nursing home, the result of a stroke.
Most of us that have been around a while have done things, but keep them up and they will catch up with you.
