    I have no clue how many miles I have. I have been doing this on and off for 22 years. No tickets ever in the big truck. One accident but I was rear ended not my fault in any way

    I'm probably somewhere in the million mile neighborhood by now, not all with one company though.

    As of Friday, 3,247,945 or 3.2 million in simpler terms without any dings. All in 26 years.

    After almost 30 years and almost 2 million safe driving miles, I hung up the keys to over the road trucking the end of February. I started a new career driving the large Komatsu and CAT haul trucks for a global mining company in northeast NV.

    I'll still miss trucking and I'll do some local driving for a buddy in the Boise area on my days off. He has a nice small fleet of T800 dump trucks and a really nice restored 76 A Model Kenworth.

    I'll still troll and poke around here often and post a comment or two once in a while.

    Good luck to you all.

    2.7 million, clean mvr, clean CSA, no crashes. I know some of that is luck, but I'll take the lucky breaks.

    I'm sure I've got over a million after 16yrs. The only accidents I've ever had was I've bagged 2 deer and 1 elk and a few tickets.

    I stopped counting after 2.5 million, 35 years, no accidents or tickets, (except for stupid overweight, and I still say it was cop with a CB that said the coops were closed). I don't downplay someone with a million today, but remember back when I started, while there were a lot of 4 lanes, there were tons of 2 lanes. Just in Wisconsin alone, I'm amazed at the stretches that were dangerous 2 lanes when I trucked, are now 4 lane. While I'm done trucking, I still check CL just in case that "wonder job" presents itself, but I've truly had enough. I wish to congratulate everyone here on that important milestone. Most people have no idea what 1, 2 or 6(good grief) million miles means, but to those of us that have done it, I say, GOOD WORK! "semi" retired
