    Hmmm, that's funny that same driver just got his 3 million mile award 4 months ago. So he was probably 2.5 million at the time. Back in 2014. Took him 26 years to hit 3 million.

    That's great,and I bet he's the best driver Hill bros has and bet they always mentions his name during every orientation.He's nothing to look at and lacks hygiene but I've met him and he's a nice guy.

    Ive had so many tickets with the cars and trucks back in them days it's a wonder. I did not include car miles in the total. But it's around 100K a year on cars. Im happy to tool around town a few times a month now at this stage in my life. Maybe 40 miles total a month. 40 aint bad if you stay fit. It's prime time.

    Stopped keeping track after 2 million. because In 2006, I was involved in a bad accident. Totally not my fault. I was not drug tested. Two people were taken by life flight. Both survived. Well done to those that were accident free.

    50+ ain't bad if you take care of yourself. I'm not a gym rat, but 10+ years of carhaul have left me plenty fit and able to keep up the younger guys. Don't be a couch potato, and like Heavy says, it's prime time.

    As of January 2017, I had 2.3 mil. dispatch miles, 2.6 actual miles.
    At 1.87 mil dispatch miles, I had my first minor boo boo, November 2015. Hit a solid sheet of ice in Montana and slid off of the road.
    Slowest month I had was 7300 miles, my best month was 14680.
