    1.5 million in 14 years OTR, 1.3 of that was ticket and accident free. I had a preventable accident when I had been driving for 18 months (my bad, thankfully nobody hurt), and a speeding ticket a year after that (cop said he clocked me doing 88mph on an uphill grade in a Mack governed at 68mph. One of my lighter loads.)

    Since then no problems till my good luck streak ended last month, got a ticket in N.J. when I missed that sign that said, "No Trucks". The cop said it would not count towards points, anybody know if that's true?

    Also managed to bust up with two great girlfriends during that time, and complete about 2/3 of a masters in computer science (complete waste of time at my age but I didn't know that when I started.)

    Im close to a million, no tickets or accidents in a truck. Although I did get a ticket in my pickup for passing on the right (wtf?)

    My pop hit the 5 million mile mark recently. No major accidents or incidents. He is like this walking/talking atlas, truck-stop, scale, detour, and all round trucking guide. I've also got 4 uncles, countless cousins, a brother, grandfather, and great grandfather that drive or drove. It's hard to tell how many miles the family has accumulated but it's got to be a lot. Not sure how many miles myself but I figure I'm in the 750K range.

    I have over 2 million under my belt, No convictions on tickets, the ones I got I fought, One non-chargeable accident over 1.75 million miles ago (Got caught in a Blizzard in Maine and I stopped for a School Bus making a turn 10 cars behind me plowed into the back of my Tanker).
