    According to the U.S. Department of Transportation - Research and Innovative Technology Administration, 82&#37; of freight ton-miles travel 250 miles or more*.

    Not enough votes to say yet, but I wonder if owner/operators tend to stay closer to home. So far the poll seems to suggest this.

    Geez! Are you pushing around 170k miles a year? I'm assuming you take a break every now and then.
