Bigdogtrucker Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Is there a decent formula for hours to miles(aprox.)with trucks??? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37080-hours-vs-miles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Depends on what type if driving you do. I'm mostly local with a roll off so hrs are way high for the kilometres on the truck.Don't think any formula could get it across the board 1 Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

farmer52 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I always used the following formula as a good rule of thumb...Highway vehicle: miles / 50mph = hours (hours x 50mph = miles)Off-Highway vehicle: hours x 30mph = miles (miles / 30mph = hours) 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37080-hours-vs-miles/#findComment-259798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 When I was in college for heavy truck they always said a good rule of thumb is 30,000 hours to a million miles. But I know a lot of newer guys the computer shows 40mph average. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37080-hours-vs-miles/#findComment-260053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick harper Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 to avg 50mph or plus you have to hauling your a-- off. I always use 30mph avg. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37080-hours-vs-miles/#findComment-260056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
