how far do you guys travel on a average job.. also how far for a special job??

i'm done an 9 hour travel zone before now..

Longest I've traveled is about 300 km and 4.5 hours one way.
That's what I average total on a normal day...

4-4.5 one way so far, but my co-worker did about 8 one way , the way i see it, getting theres half the fun just remember to take a camera for the unusual sites. 

I've done 7 hours one way a few times.  I always wish i had more leg room on those long trips though.

when you do long runs/nights out do you cab it or travellodge?

the entire United States is my working ground, as long as the customer understands he needs to pick up travel costs then I work pretty much anywhere with in America only. I dont travel anywhere I need a visa though. Too much trouble for me to deal with.

But I only drive a ford 550 not a mack or pump truck, so it is not as hard on me I guess, and I usually find a reasonable hotel if it is over 10 hour drive .

ive traveled 10 hours one way an it sucked cause i worked all day then drove it at night an got there an worked all day then drove back home an had 2 jobs that day.. i was so tired i didnt even kno who i was

I believe the DOT truck weight stations have rules about that. You can only pull something like an eleven hour day that includes working. Suppose to keep a log. I got pinched while driving my new pump back from Chicago. Got up at 3:00AM and had put in 600 miles when pulling into Mn, at around 2:30 pm. Mothers day weekend, I thought they would be closed but not so lucky. Weight station open. They were pissed, my log book wasn't filled out properly, and I was overtime. Fortunately the truck checked out and I pleaded ignorance with respect. I got off with a stern warning.

Not sure what you're after but 95% of our work is less than 1 hour from home.

not really after any thing i was just wondering how far pumps are travelling on average..some days i travel an hour from the yard and some other days i end up travel from one job to the next hours away.. i quite enjoy the driving around the country seeing other places..

yea there are rules against that i dont really kno the exact rules but i just bypassed the scales an i keep a log book just had to modify it a little

had a pump in our area a few years back the operator had driven across the length of the country straight off a job managed an hour sleep once he had set up. During the pour he fell asleep with remote in hand, Turned out the guy had not seen a bed for over 40 hours. Is this being safe I think not.

The rules are to protect everyone. Truck driving rules especially. If you were over hour and got in an accident? The lawyers would put you in jail after taking all you ever had. Last summer I did a lot of pumping 150 miles away, got to go were the work is.

12 hours roundtrip and 9 hours of placement  that was a long tirring day

Normally within an hour, but it happens to us has a 3.5 - 4 hours driving to a job

There was no sense that the text would be so great. I have not found out how I do it less

6 1/2 hours from bathgate to scrabster 180m and return!!!
