Heard a rumor that dot was questioning the atlanta turn 666 miles is it true or just bs..??
they go faster then us. I'd imagine with a 65mph truck that could actually pull, instead of that blue junk we got, they could run it.flstc2000 said:60.5 MPH average .... close to possible if you don't hit any traffic problems. I have seen many other forums here say they do turns with that many miles, but it does seem a little excessive.
Dangle the carrot in front of some horses and they will run !!
thats the one!Moparman said:666 miles....That must be the infamous devils run iv'e been hearing about!
So true. Our 120 to 190(Stroudsburg to Carlstadt) is 83 miles. 1.5 to run. If you figure in that half the trip is 50 and 55 mph, it can't be done in that time. With a 60mph truck, and don't be fooled, they may read something else, but most are still around there, it would take hour 23 mins alone. Add in the speed zones, and hills, nope! But hey, hammer down boys.gopher said:It doesn 't matter how fast a truck can run if it can be legal,by what the speed limits are.if you are in 50 mph zone and running over that to make a trip it's not a makeable run.It doesn't matter what your average speed is but what are the posted speed limits that set if a run can be made or not.any time you must speed over the posted limits on a run it means that run cann't be made.
lol, yeah I hear ya. Specially all the construction delays up there in CT. Gotta wonder what a bad winter is going to due for that run? Or most of the buffy for that matter.:BlahBlah:Moparman said:You could only average around 50 mph no matter how you slice it.You have to take in acccount road const,weather,pulling hills etc.We have guys from 135 that turn 107 5 days a week.That's 612 miles.On more then one occassion they had to go to bed because they burned up 6 of their 11 hours getting there due the above mentioned.Again all the conditions have to be right to turn this trip.Of course you have the guys with sharp pencils that would turn it regardless.You know what they say,give them enough rope and the'll hang themselfs!
