    Not sure, but well over a million, crash-free, 1 speed ticket, more logbook tickets than I'm proud of, a few overweights. Rubbed a pole on a step, so one preventable. Been a pretty good career. Oh but did have about 5 seat belt violations. Got smart after my fleet manager warned me if I got any more, I'd be out of the truck and doing warehouse work for a year 'til they cleared out. Didn't much care for that option, haha :( Wear it faithfully now.

    Yes, a million miles, but not all paid miles. I do no believe that driving in a circle counts. 17 years of LTL and local line haul.

    Been running hard for just under 9 years now, minus a 6 month hiatus for a girl that turned out to be a b**tch. I really wish I had kept better track of my miles over the years. I'll just say 8 years # 120,000 gives me 960,000 miles. One non-preventable accident and two tickets, speeding and failure to stop (sign), so not even perfect but it's been a good ride for the most part.

    Around 1,500,000 miles with a bunch of speeding tickets along the way but none in the last three years.

    None of my miles are recent but I have around 2 million from years ago. As far as tickets go... I used to be a meat hauler.

    At least a million miles, but never kept a tally. As someone else pointed out, the oilpatch slows you down, and who cares how many miles you do when the pay is by the hour. I have productive days with as little as 100 miles these days, and I'm not in a hurry to go back on the blacktop.
