280 km or miles?
I would be darn proud to say I had one million miles behind me. When I do- I will have the jacket, decal on my truck and may even get my first tatoo!! LOLkerosene jockey Thanks this. -
You know, that's a good question. If I research it I bet I would have to say yes.kerosene jockey, FLATBED, okiedokie and 1 other person Thank this.

Especially if you have a few of those unknown low bridges thrown in with a couple mile backing to get out of there.JohnBoy Thanks this.

JohnBoy Thanks this.

You bet. I've had one or two of those. -
So how are "safe" miles defined? By just not having an accident or incident that was your fault?
Or does it mean that you haven't broken any laws while driving? -
Not sure why you say that but I think they're a bigger deal than you or I. I've only got 5 years and around 650000 miles but the more I learn the more I realize how much I don't know.
I got through that elevated confidence stage without incident and figure as long as I keep treating the next mile as the biggest one I'll be ok.
Hats off to the guys with 20+ safe years. -
He's barely over a 1/4 of the way.. its like a 28 year old thinking its "nothing" to make it to 100 years old.
JohnBoy Thanks this. -
This attitude is what's wrong with these new drivers out there today.
Probably guys like this that are the ones who side swiped my truck in a truckstop, ripped my mirror off and then didn't even say anything. Just drove away....."really not a big deal"....geez...JohnBoy and kerosene jockey Thank this.
