    Had a family friend who made 2 million without a wreck or ticket. Within the month, he was hit while asleep in the sleeper and got a speeding ticket while going down a steep mountain. Kinda sucked :biggrin_25510:

    Way to go driver! Good job! That's what paying attention to what's going on around you will do.

    I hope and pray I can make it to the first million mile mark. LoL
    Approx how long does it take to do 2 million miles? Any body have a ruff guess?

    Well, my hubby just hit the 100,000 mile mark after a year (including his training time but not school) so roughly 20 years depending on how many miles you get. Hubby could have more miles, but his first three months were with Werner on a dedicated route, and the miles on that sucked. He put in better miles while training!

    He will be running hard for that in 20 years.

    100,000 x 20 = 2,000,000

    That about adds up. He could have more than 100,000 already, but the miles with Werner got to the trainers and teams first, as with most outfits like that. Of course the miles have been dropping lately too. I went back over his pay stubs from his current company and he has had 13 weeks with less than 2,000 miles, 11 weeks with less than 3,000 miles, and only 5 weeks with over 3,000 miles. That's just the practical miles, not the actual hub miles too.
