Yes for sure, I driveing maybe 700 mile. Then am to sleepin for Darak will be driveing 700 mile. Sunday is not driving till 10:30 at the night. Look for us in the stops for trucks with all sport bags piled upon windshield and line for washing tied to your trailer.
Puddles of pish next to our door and half eaten goat wrapped in paper silver. Happy truckings :wink:

Hard to say, running around NE i avg 425 a day. Been able to bang out 575+ quite a few times, hard in this area to do, unless from PA to MA using the pike. :roll:

If you claim to have averaged 70.27 mph, you falsified your logs. The laws of gravity, the laws of physics, and common sense state that you will not average 70 mph over an 11 hour period, when you are driving in a state with a 75 mph speed limit. There's things like MOUNTAINS, TRAFFIC, SCALES, and FUELING that will slow you down well below 70 mph, thereby rendering your "average" impossible. At best, you'll get a 67 mph average, and even that would be darn hard to pull off.

This way he or who ever could drive more than 11 hours in one day, therefore it would be legal to do 770 miles maybe a few more.
770 X 5 = 3850 miles / 7 days = More like an average of 550 miles per day average over a 7 day period. And that isn't taking into account any pre trips, post trips, fueling, loading, unloading, etc. that eats up your 70 hour clock. It just isn't possible, and it just isn't realistic.
