    Well shoot. If never hurting or killing anyone counts I have a LIFETIME (53 years) of safe driving. Of course only 250-300k was in a rig.

    Fine. All I had was a tear across my bicep, and a bad bump on my head. I probably owe my life now to no seat belt, and the design of the t2000. Good thing I looked up when ordering my w900. That and I didn't want to wait three to four months for my new rig.

    You know I've never really tracked my mileage cause I've never cared about that but I'd guess 1.5 - 2 mill but that's a guess since I've spent time doing city work, shunt and off-road hauling in the 19 years that I've held a CDL I've never caused let alone hurt anyone in the 4 collisions I've been involved in. That to me is more important than the number of years or miles I've put in.
     
    Dave 1960 Thanks this.

    Hi, 1,300,000 without any tickets. 1 preventable my first year, a giant one too, still no ticket though or dot involvement. I knocked over an electrical pole in Minneapolis and it fell and took another one down and the wires were hanging like 5 feet over the road and a couple cars drove under them. crazy, I thought someone was going to get shocked and die. I was running around with my triangles blocking cars from going under wires. I thought I was going to jail before the cops got there and within 15 minutes im onto my delivery a mile away with no damage to truck or ticket. I love MN! after that non-preventable, hit 2 deer and a cow, yes cow, and someone hit me when I was sleeping.

    Over 1 million no accidents no ticket's over 2 million, more ticket's and accidents than I care to talk about.Maybe the gray hair help's.If you drive in a large metro area daily you are far more likely to have an accident than out in the less. populated area's
