    From wendover nv to north platte ne, 75 to 80 mph average speed limit across utah and wyoming. The Qualcomm recorded more more miles because i didn't start recording on the truck until like 20 miles in. My truck is ungoverned i actually did 80 mph as much as i could even though i only averaged 70. Had 24k in the box.

    Got close almost a week ago. Started in Dublin,VA,dropped off at the Union Pacific railyard in Marion,AR and shut down in West Memphis,AR. Used I-81 and I-40 all the way.
    Less than 24 hours after I passed thru Cookeville and got around Nashville Middle Tennessee got ravaged by a tornado outbreak!!

    I did Winslow Arizona to Oklahoma City once on Elogs. It was around 800 miles. It was also a light load in a 75 mph truck.

    I can do 80 mph but generally don't run over 75 because it really increases the fuel consumption going over 75 on my truck. Running in 12th gear at 75 puts me at 1,300 rpm's. I've had many days over 700 miles in the west.

    694 miles today... In a 67 mph truck. Still have 25 mins on my 11. I would have gone further if there was someplace to park within the next 25 miles or so but there is not.

    Broke my record by 1 mile the other day. Ran 725 from the Route 66 Casino just west of Albuquerque, NM to the Loves in Big Cabin, OK. 68 mph truck with 19k in the reefer. 1 minute left on my 11 when I got backed into a parking spot. It doesn’t work out like that too often, but gotta love it when it does!
