...in a Prime LW governed at 62 mph. A perfect storm of dispatches and deliveries. Technically the 4473 is over eight and a half days, but I doubt I top this (in a Prime company truck anyway).

Last week was only 2300 but the week before was 3400. Loving these miles! I'm definitely looking forward to home time though, getting run a little ragged.

I've certainly never heard anyone from Prime Inc say they weren't gettin the miles. That place will run you like crazy!

Congrats on the great week (well, little over a week but who's counting?)

Congratulations!

3,000 mile weeks are definitely possible. I'm wrapping up another one tomorrow.

Keep up the great work!
