3.2 million (rough estimate after I got my last 3 million award). No tickets (ever), No accidents (ever)...It can be done. Your license is your ticket to an income. Protect it at all costs.

close to three million miles here in almost 28 yrs. can't even remember how many times I had to go to court or driving courses to get points back. slowed way down now, don't haul much of anything except wide/ oversized. only one inijury accident, 4 wheeler's fault but I got the tickets......

Had to step away from this thread for awhile, getting a little tired of all the naysayers and frequent accident drivers making comments on something they know nothing about. You guys are just punching numbers on a calculator saying it's impossible to get 3 million miles in 10 years. Maybe in today's world of truck driving since we are regulated so much more but not back when I actually did do the mileage.
Just because you can't stay off the cell phone and drive the way you are supposed too you have to bring down someone else cause in your mind safe driving can't be done. I have a problem with paying for car insurance that I have never needed. I have never filled out an accident report and (Knock on Wood) I hope I never will.
As far as speeding tickets go. So your saying that going over the speed limit on a open highway is unsafe. Only tickets I got for speeding were on highways out in the middle of nowwhere, a cop looking to bring in some money for his precinct. I'm sorry but speeding does not make you unsafe unless you don't know where and when not to speed. Just because the Gov't puts a sign up doesn't mean that is the safe speed. Now I'm sure I will get grief on this subject. go right ahead but put it in another thread stop trying to take away from the drivers that actually do know how to drive safe and get their million miles but won't put it on here cuz you guys will ridicule them.
Those of you from the old school know exactly what I'm talking about. The gov't makes the rule we can only run 11 hours otherwise you are unsafe, poppycock. You could have just had 20 hours of sleep and get on the road for 2 hours and become sleepy, depends on your own personal situation and how well suited you are to do the driving on that day.
Last thought: All you naysayers so quick to judge on something you know nothing about I have not once ever seen anybody ask how you drive that many miles without an accident or what's the secret. Try asking those questions to the million milers and you might actually learn something.
If anyone has a problem with me personally just pm me instead of putting it on this thread. -
I just spent a weekend in Orland Fl. for Landstars All Star Weekend. It was for all Million Milers and Roadstars. Landstar inducted 136 new million mile drivers and inducted 10 new Roadstars. With a total of over 795 million safe and accident free miles for active million plus mile drivers I'd say thats a pretty impressive stat. They also inducted their 3rd 4 million driver! Landstar put us up at the Marriot Grand Island resort and paid for all food, lodging,and ammenities. There were over 800 people in attendance. Thanks Landstar thats part of what sets you above the rest
Dave 1960 and Rif Raf McQ Thank this.
