Just Curious....

JohnMueller · Feb 15, 2007

Hey professional drivers - just curious what is the longest trip, in miles, that your dispatch has ever offered to you, intended to be driven straight through? Please just give miles, and whether or not you took it and were successful in completing the trip. Please do not name carriers - this post is not intended to open regulatory cans of worms.

Thanks,

3996, dh from Oakland CA to LA,2 stops,1st in Scranton PA,2nd in Delray Beach FL. Could have ate nails when that one ended.

Also did a Denver CO to St John Newfundland with a stop in Montreal but a good portion was on a overnight ferry from Nova Scotia to Newfundland.
