    My step dad has been driving the same dedicated route for 35 years every week, and pulls in right at 3,000 miles a week. He said he's over 4,000,000 miles as of this May.

    35 years of the same route....... the truck probably drives itself!!! lol.
    35 years is enough of a feat, but the same route?????
    My hats off to him, I couldn't do it.

    No. He calls and aggravates the hell out of all of us! He's actually going to take me on the road for two weeks after I get my cdl permit to give me a head start before I head to Prime in June. He delivers up to Chicago to all of the foreign restaurants for their chicken and such!
