    I’m just curious: how long it would take to reach? How miles will be calculated- loaded or/and empty added? Can this be consider a feat in achieving this? Especially no accidents and tickets? Or this isn’t important, money is most important?
    Saw a driver that got a 2 million mile sticker on the side of his truck, back up on the alley dock in less than 2 minutes.

    When I started back in the 90s you figured 10,000 miles/month and/or 100,000 miles per year. Also, many drivers would save their logbooks and you could use the daily mileage entry to get as accurate as your logs.

    I don't worry about the stickers on my truck or how many miles.
    That is a distraction.

    Stay safe and be happy.

    About 15 to 20 years . if u run 100k miles a year then it take 20 years. That is alot of time driving in circles around the u.s.

    First 20 got my 2 million.
    After that I did more local and regional so never really kept track.
    Company hands out ATA awards each year and just got a 40 year safe driving pin and patch...
    That, along w 5 bucks, will get you a coffee at Starbucks.

    Only two minutes? I can probably do that in one move with a automatic once I get it moving to avoid the bounce house effect.

    Two million is a lifetime. Call it about 120-150K miles a year takes about 15 years or so to get two million.

    You can bet that he wont have had two million in just one tractor. It wont last long enough or look as good. I know I have about that much in my time, but quit counting a long time ago. No one cares really and sometimes decals like that attracts unnecessary attention and teasing talk.

    "Oh lookie here boys, a two millioner sitting with a state bear having a drug dog sniffing inside his drivers door." HA... you would never hear the end of it.
