Yes and no. Yes, that's true, I'm not at the start point of this trip at the moment. But no, that's not the flaw itself. :)

Hint: In order to find out this flaw, you, as a truck driver, should have all the trip planning tools handy. They include but not limited to, Google Maps and MCRA.

Well you are not driving 2891 miles in that short of a time frame. I saw that first.

Without doing the math-I'd say that's at least a 4-5 day trip...

Remember, use google maps as a tools, first thing we know about is that, google maps are basically for cars. So their travel time are calculated with car speed limits accordingly. That's why we focus on the mileage only.

Mathematically you are right. But that way, you'll risk with max out your 70 sooner than you can imagine. I'm planning to do 8-8.5hrs/day run.
