Had a nice weekend at home, actually, I have been home for more nights in December then I have been out. Doing a lot of in state and local work. Pay is still decent. But I am more then ready to put it back into the wind and roll.

I have this number in my head for 2009. 200,000 Miles. Done it before, but never with 1-2 nights a week at the house. So I am going to give it a shot, and see, if the situation I am in, is really the best trucking job ever! Should be doable. All my loads out are on pre-loaded trailer when I hit the dock. 2,000+ miles out, unload and reload at same door, and return. The trick is to not have any major breakdown and to steer clear of the weather. Even then, I think I can average 4,300 miles a round-trip.

    Steve, you can do it. I am venturing to guess you may have to be anal about maintenance on the engine to keep her running in tip top shape, but it comes with the life.

    Whose company you're working for? And I would say "200,000 mi" is more than decent.

    you better enjoy it while it lasts. I ran 260,000 in 14 months in my new truck in 1996, 97. I got involved in a wreck,which wasn't my fault, got hurt now 120,000 seems like a lot of miles, those 1000 mile days are just too much like work now
