How many Million Milers do we have?

I started in oct 1978 as an owner operator. In 84 I went company local hauling gasoline till july 99. I am now a company driver over the road with a big southeast ltl company. My guess is about 2.5... A few tickets.. A couple of jacknifes.
Bad weather..4 wrecks.1 in my pickup my fault and 3 where I was hit or envolved.. Its been fun, and a fast rewarding career.....

 

just recieved my plaque and membershio into the million mile club from the national safety council...its a little late but quite an honor to recieve...

 

2 Million and counting , by ata rules . First driving comp this past spring 13 th in a state wide comp, dont think thats to bad out of 196 contestants ?

 

started driving when i got out of the army in 1977 worked on and off for the next 30 yrs in the early days hauling more weight paid more then running a lot of miles.


good ?

 

2 miilion plus in 31 years.

first truck was International day cab for 11 western states. small cummins , 14 mph over Grapevine.

15 cents a mile.

Ist trip over donner pass lost brakes and was first driver to use the new runaway ramp in 1981.

hit the ramp at over 100 miles per hr.

been safe since, knock on wood.

 

I'm just over 2 million but certainly feels like 4 million lol. I've seen alot and done alot but hope to do another 2 mil before it's all said and done.

 

I just had to fix the post. Glad to made it out alive to tell about!

2+million miles for me. 2 crashs, 1 in the mid 80's and 1 in the early 90's. A cheet load of speeding tickets back in the 55mph for all days, glad most states came around to my way of thinking, 70~75mph

 

In 31 years, probably well over 2 million - accident free.

I started in Alberta, with a KW hauling drilling mud out to the oil and gas wells on a flatdeck, in the mountains. Chained up most of the time - 80% off road. Didn't even know what a Jake brake did for the first couple of weeks.

Climbing the mountains, off road, wasn't too bad, on one trip had to have a D9 pull me to the top. Unfortunately, what goes up, must come down and the first wek was spent with one foot on the brake, the other propping the door open, since this captain wasn't planning on going down with the ship.

 

]My hats off to anyone who has a million + miles and still be above ground let alone no accidents. Pete cracked me up when he redid dogs post,on cheeting the pants!

 

I have right about 2.2 million miles in the first 18 years driving. Been out of OTR for 9 months right now. Getting ready to get back out there and get a few million more. I have no tickets so far. But have deserved a few. Only been in one little fender bender where the guy hit me.
