How Many Miles Is a Truck Driver Allowed to Drive in one Day (2024)

While covering many miles is critical to a truck driver’s success, drivers are not allowed to operate a vehicle for more than 11 hours within a 24-hour time frame. If a truck driver adheres to federal and laws (dependent on state and interstate), they will average about 55 to 60 miles per hour; this means that most truck drivers average around 605 to 650 miles per working day—although mileage varies depending on the route, traffic, and weather conditions.
