It's was always my understanding that you could only legally log 135-140k a year? Just curious, as that's a lot of miles since it works out to 4000 miles a week 52 weeks a year. The most I ever run was 15k a month. I think I was more stressed over running 3 logbooks vs. ever being tired. I had a lot of light loads that month. A restored fire engine ladder from Boston to Seattle & in turn took back a "core" ladder so right there that was like 6k miles. I averaged 6.6 MPG on those trips', of course that was back in '91 & it absolutely sucked in the Midwest both times due to snow slick roads. I was never intimidated by inclement weather as long as I was heavy & the load wasn't high catching wind.

Our lawys up here were a lot different than the US HOS. But either way, being an independent, I ran "loose leaf" as opposed to books. Show a weigh master a clip board wiuth 7 sheets and the 1 your working on, and they'll close it up and hand it back to ya.

MOREEEE times than i'd like to think about. Coffee, leads to pills, leads to Coke......Especially if your a guy like me who was a "runner".... Halifax to Toronto in 16hrs flat, swap trailers, Be in Houstan 27hrs later. 3 hour nap unloading, back up to Denton TX (SE Dallas), drop and hook, be in Calgary 28 hours later . My last truck had 3 x 150 gal fuel tanks ...I could run anywhere between 24 and 2800 miles between fill ups. Makes `doing a paper shuffell`mighty easy.
