    Yep, my '07 pete rolled over the 500k mark today about 12:30pm (looking at the clock, this technically happened YESTERDAY)

    so WOOHOO! milestone, wonder when they'll hang this rig up to dry and put me in something else, i hear they usually part with these tractors once they hit the 500k mile mark. :biggrin_255:

    Yea, normal is about 450-500k. Some go longer depending on what is available in the fleet. Most times they will offer a new or newer
    truck to a driver with more time with the company and you might get his newer than your truck. But i have seen them give a straight
    out of school and training rookie a brand new Cascadia (and this
    guy had a VERY poor atitude) only to hear he wrecked it within the first month. He quit shortly thereafter because he didn't get another NEW truck. You will likely turn in your truck soon.
