    I only ran 150,000 miles last year. I took a lot of home time, plus the 4 months I took off over the winter.
    .
    I would have ran more but I had a trainee must of the time.

    Back in the day I knew some Crete drivers that ran 150k per year at Crete. But that was when the average load was over 1000 miles and Crete didn't have elogs.
    Actually, the first 12 months I was at Crete I put 150k miles on a truck. Of course,I only got paid for 138k because they were paying hhg miles then.

    I get between 120-125000 every year. I'm Boi aye I could stay out long enough to get 150000. I imagine trainers could though.

    If you stay out 5-6 wks, you'll get the miles. I've been here almost 9 years and am between 120-125,000, depending how much I stay out. I was around 124,500 last year and was home 50+ days.

    It's been tough for me though I was always in the north east I went out west but I had to really push hard and be out close to 6 weeks out at a time which I don't want to do that with my surgically repair eye atleast not at first

    For what it's worth, there used to be drivers that ran 150k a year. I saw their statements. But that was a long time ago. The loads got alot shorter since then.
