Than you are a magician! :lol:
Average, I'd say about 5-600, per work day, but "average", didn't mean much, in this context! :roll: :wink:

773 miles / 65mph = 11.892307692307692307692307692308 hours.
(above figure is no joke, this is what the calculator spit out on my laptop :shock: )

773 miles / 11 LEGAL HOURS = 70.27272727272727272727 AVG MPH
(again, laptop calculator)

Would say what, 11.75 hours or so.................

by the book HOS you can drive otr for a max of 13.5 hr pre day every day until you hit your 70

It would be less than that on days that you have to fuel. On those days you are probably looking at 13.25 hours driving.

Anywhere from 0 to 284.

On the low end I may not be needed in the city that day and I just play freight tetris on my tow motor for 8hrs.

If I do City P&D I'll drive anywhere from 10mi for a peddle near the barn up to 150 if I go out to our customers in Gardnerville or Fernley.

On the high end if we have more freight that line drivers I'll end up using my 2hr extension, doing a turn n' burn to Sacramento and back for a whopping 284.

The day I ran 700 miles to get home took me close to 15 hours. I didn't plan too well that day and the last 200 miles is pretty congested with no place to park for the night.

Today I've gone 300 miles so far with the cruise on 67 and my GPS tells me my moving average is 60. There are hills that bring me down to 57 or so.

When we were with Arrow in our lease truck Hubby drove 500-800 a day. Now in our own truck he only drives 300-500 a day and makes MORE money :wink:

Come on Tootie, you know the truth. If he was alone in the truck now he would be doing like 1,900 a day.

Oh look honey, a craft store, pull over.

I have to pee, pull over.

Lets fool around, pull over, oh wait, never mind I have to pee.

Look, CVS, stop I need some things.

Oh look, soy burgers, I'll bet your hungry dear.
