    I don't keep track anymore, I used to drive for companies that kept up with it but that has been awhile. I think in forty years that three million would be close on a conservitive count, all without a chargable accident, but lots of speeding tickets over the years. Still enjoy my own truck and the highway, just not the other BS.

    Going on 37 years, and have no idea how many miles, no accidents, no tickets, and only missed 4 days of work, in 37 years. I have gone in sick, tired, rundown, hungry, overate, hurt-My back, my Knee, my whole body. But got up every day and went to work. I read a lot of these post here, and I will honestly say, ALL OF YOU DRIVERS here are the backbone of the industry, Your contributions for being safe on the roads, all your years out here are priceless! Wow, I really enjoyed hearing from everyone of you. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
     
    JustSonny Thanks this.

    Gentlemen, you should all be very proud. Most non-drivers, myself included, can not fathom what you deal with everyday. 1 Million is a huge accomplishment. Those of you who are working on your 2nd, 3rd or 4th...amazing. Keep up the great work.
