    I have put on over 3 million miles since 1978.I attempt to run less miles at a higher rate than the other way around.

    1.5+ million since 1987. All short hauls. Home every night. One over weight ticket. No speeding tickets. One guy ran into me with his pickup. He admitted fault.

    I hit a million in year 7, no accidents no tickets that held up in court.

    I feel like a green horn compared to the guys I work with now...... I don't think we have a guy with less then 3 mill, or 20 years local.

    I'm the big straper.... LOL

    I spent 10 years with one company since 1995, did some short time with a couple other companies and I was an O/O for a while. I also had about 3 years in there that I wasn't driving.

    The 10 company never bothered to keep track of this and acknowledge the drivers who reached this milestone and to be honest, I didn't keep track myself. I do have all the old paper logs somewhere, but that seems like a lot of work to go through them all.

    I'd say in a lazy year my minimum miles would be at least 120,000, so I'm guessing I'm over the 1.5 million mile mark pretty easily.

    Never charged with an accident. Although one time a guy did manage to park his car sideways on my front bumper at 65 mph, but the police never even asked to see my driver's license, so I guess that wasn't my fault.

    Another time a lady ran into my trailer tires on the highway, but just drove off with the "Dale Earnhardt Rub Marks" all down the side of her car, again the police didn't bother with me.

    I've been able to avoid a ticket of any kind since about 2000. Yay me!

    Congratulations to you all and stay safe!

    About 3.5 million total, since 1976. Last accident was in 1980 where I ripped the roof clean off on a bridge. Cops thought it was funny... Last moving violation was about 16 years ago. Not perfect, but proud of the record anyway.
