Our new ORD-China service does not allow any stops as per the treaty allowing the service. So we better have the correct aircraft for the service, we do a, 777.

AFAIK, the treaties regarding nonstop flights are related to passenger service.
For freighters, there is no such restriction.
NWA is a good example. The 747F always stops in Anchorage, both ways.
Can't say if they fly it with 240,000 all the time, but, I'd bet it is way more than 80,000.
