How many Million Milers do we have?

Started driving in the 60's,bought my first truck in 1974,and still at it as an OO.The way I figure a little less than 3 million,try to truck smart anymore,not hard.

 

Why so many tickets

 

Tickets?
What tickets?
Did I miss sumthin'?

​

 

I have been at it so long I think I have backed a million miles! I have burnt one million gallons of fuel and peed million quarts of coffee!!

 

..........amateur ....... !

 

Probably at about 1.2 milliion miles now. Started in 1999 but have taken chunks of time off over the years.

 

do not want it

 

Been driving for over 35 years have over 2mil. miles
will be 58 in January it's not like it use to be, take it you break down on side of the road back in the day I'm talking 1978 to the mid 90's 3 -4 trucks would pull over and see if they could get you back up and running and tell you to pay it forward, sh****** now days they don't even change lanes. You use to be able to talk to anyone any time of the day or night from California to Jacksonville Florida and back. These new bread of drivers no kind of respect for anybody or anything not all but most and with FMCSA and the rest of them with all these restrictions and raising our insurance coverage has us old timers are calling it quits it use to be fun now it's starting to feel like a job and I'm an owner operator. Trying to run us out of business, this Country was founded by geniuses and it's being ran by imbeciles right now.!!

 

Drove from 1969 To 2013 no accidents. Miles? At least 4 million

 

With HOS regs, we don't have time to stand around and shoot the #### anymore.

Back before cell phones, anyone, semi or 4 wheeler would have several people stop and check. That slowly tapered off when more and more people would raise there cell phone and say that someone was on the way. Nowadays, If someone needs help and does not have a cell phone or needs other help, they can flag passing vehicles down.

Its just a different time, thanks largely to technology.
