How do you figure Buckeye? I run 6 days a week, how many days are you workin'?
I can crank 600 to 700 miles a day depending on where I am. You know the states West of the Mississippi don't have 55 speed limits (well a few do) like Ohio. Can't help it you run East coast .... I don't!! Don't wait long on delivering (never more than 30 mins) nor do I wait to load. Usually where I'm delivering I load.....about two doors down. Tough job, huh?

Excuse me.....not worded correctly for the english majors on the board. :roll:
Is this better ..... not running East coast such as Ohio and their 55 speed limit, run West of the Mississippi, towards the NW (stay out of 55 states don't have time)you know where you can run 70? What is wrong with y'all and logs? 600 miles in a 10 hour day is 60mph, can y'all figure out the rest? :shock:

Don't bother trying Bunny, I was told there is no way I could go 450 miles in an 8 hour spin. And I do it 55mph states for the most part.
To the original poster, the short answer is, what ever the dispatcher can get away with. If they know you run hard (ie, disregard HOS rules), you will get all sorts of interesting timelines. I've left with produce loads with strict window 1000 miles away with 10 hours to go, like that's going to happen. Take my time and I get there when I get there, if I need to grab some air and some food I will. While I understand the load may have just came up, emergency, etc, the physics of moving that setup over a 1000 miles does not change. Start running ragged to "get er done" and that's when it can get ugly. |
