AFAIK a truck driver can only drive within a 14 hour window. Since this run seemed to take a lot longer than 14 hours, I'm guessing this might only be feasible if the truck gets handed off to a second driver?
Lots of 2-person teams out there that try to keep the rig pulling 24/7.
Also lmao at the dude pointing out traffic laws being from the DMV instance.
It's an unfortunate acronym for the area I'm in 😂
I commute to that area every day from about an hour west, I know all too well what you mean 😬
Just in case anyone was curious about the speed to make this happen: 14 hrs driving at 123 km/h (76 mph) = 1732 km.
Not impossible but it's unlikely this was done in 14 hours and they probably swapped out drivers to achieve this.
What's the speed limit for lorries where this was done? Because in a lot of places it's going to be less than 123 km/h.
American truck drivers are more like airplane pilots than European truck drivers.
They has to charge at some point. There was more than 1 driver.
You can see in the article they were driving 60mph almost the whole time they weren’t charging
