Bit iffy that bud,i reckon not in a shift,is it coke your going :question:

I think you will be ok. It is roughly 380 mile round trip which gives average speed of 42 mph on a 9. To be on safe side I would use some of that 5 1/2 left today to get down the road a bit tonight if duty time permits. I guess you could get a couple of hours back down the road leaving about 300 miles to do tomorrow, dropping average speed to 33 mph

So how far have you got Tonight ?
As tomorrow may get tight on time .

5

Yes it is do-able. 3.5-4hrs from Rugby to Hull depending on M1 traffic, easy 4.5hrs to Edmonton from Hull. I used to do a night trunk to Northolt from Hull and that was just over 4hrs.

1st thing on a sunday morning i could run back empty from orpington through blackwall to sutton fields, hull in 4.5, so defo doable

7

I can do Huddersfield to Cricklewood then Harlesden and back on a 10 at 52mph, but it is very tight, if that helps.
