i don't see a problem for 750 a day average...IF one runs into a nest of loads for like that 4 days or so....anything longer then that is starting to wear on a person...just the grind of it...A steady diet of 750's in a row....not so much...IMO

If Donald Trump really wants to help truckers as he says...He'd BAN cheap diesel anything less then 50 cetane...then we'd be caught up to the rest of the world....
