- AnthonyMouse 2y agoRelatedly, it's not uncommon for trucks to have sleeper cabs and multiple drivers so that the truck is on the move close to 24 hours a day. Using the provided numbers and ordinary highway speeds, that leads to a fuel cost of more than $1000/day. Whether "thousands" has to mean strictly more than $2000 is being somewhat pedantic.
- TylerE 2y agoYes, exactly. Long haul drivers operate as 2 or 3 driver teams. They specially high value cargo. Those things stay moving. Also 5mpg is high for pulling an unawrodynamic load.
