Hi everyone;
I thought I'd post this here this morning to see if my friends could figure this out, cuz I sure can't.
I have a very large package (350 pounds) coming from Fontana, California, to me here in Ontario, Canada.
As you can clearly see in the screenshot from R&L Carriers (the trucking company), that it left Fontana, California at 3:16 am on September 17. The next entry indicates its arrival at Chicago, Il. at 6:00 pm on September 18.
My question is, how is it possible for a transport truck carrying my payload from California to Chicago, make that trip in 27 hours. Calculated at 27 hours X 55 miles per hour average, = 1,485 miles. Google shows that the actual distance between those two cities is 3,170 km's or 1,981 miles. That's a 500 discrepancy which would realistically add another 10 hours to that trip.
Come on fella, there's a lot smarter people up here than me. Especially those with them new tinfoil hats on.
