When I was combo I would do about 12-15 miles of walking each day if I maxed out a 14 or 16 hour clock.

2-3 48 trailers to deliver at breakneck speed at the nearby industrial park. Then finish my remaining hours doing dock work, busy work or walking around with a headset kicking chocks around for the yard guy(s) at night so they didn't have to leave the truck.

Hard work is rewarded with more work. Hated that ####. Those days I'd sleep in my car since I lived an hour from the yard. Could eat 4k calories a day in one giant meal and not gain weight.

15 miles in 30,000 steps and it would take 5 hrs at 3mph. That's hard to do every day!

Guessing your terminal wasn't 50-100 pallets of seeds and mulch that had to be cardboard wrapped every night. I'd probably walk 5 miles in circles just cardboarding those ####ing seed/sand/salt/mulch/etc pallets.

Also, I'd jog everywhere usually.
