    Ummm, I just got through putting 102,400 miles on in 32 weeks. More like 36 but we had 4 weeks of shutdowns. Had the job not ended I would have had an additional 51,200 miles for a total of 153,600 miles in 48 weeks.

    A perfect example of the issues of this subject. You guys don't comprehend that European operations and north American operations are greatly different from each other. So different that you question of those miles are legal, when in fact they are typical otr miles.
