This is a genuine, praise-worthy achievement. The howlers don’t give a shit about this stuff. We need someone who thinks they know everything and have an attitude aboot it or a new guy asking the dumbest questions about the dumbest shit possibleNot sure if the Pit's howler monkeys are going to blast me for this, but what the hell, here goes
I ranch full time for a living but drive truck a little at night as a part time job
Got my CDL at 50 and my goal was to drive long enough to hit a million miles
Figured it would probably take me about 20 years
Well, I did it in 14
Turned over 1,000,007 accident free miles last night pulling a fuel transport.

Fine. I must do everything around here. Averaging 65 mph for an 8 hour shift, 5 days per week, with 2 weeks of vacation and 10 holidays (48 x 5 day weeks) this could have been done in just over 8 years. Doing it in 14 seems kinda slackery.This is a genuine, praise-worthy achievement. The howlers don’t give a shit about this stuff.

Hey, dumbass. He said it was part-time workFine. I must do everything around here. Averaging 65 mph for an 8 hour shift, 5 days per week, with 2 weeks of vacation and 10 holidays (48 x 5 day weeks) this could have been done in just over 8 years. Doing it in 14 seems kinda slackery.![]()
Yeah, but his day job is ranching. Them cows basically raise themselves. It’s not like he has TPS reports to file. Slackery…
Yeah... and when Vesuvius blows again that's a million people in the next Pompeii!
And I've been to Naples. There's no virgins there to sacrifice...

Congratulations on that accomplishment. I took a buyout at 40 after 14 years at a major Michigan based chemical company. I started out my work career as a diesel mechanic and got back into the trucking industry as a driver. I haven't kept track of my exact miles buy after 20 years pulling multi axle in Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin. I am somewhere around 2.5 million miles. The pic is my current ride, and a load of quarter saw logs that went to a place in Indiana.
He pulled a fuel tank most likely local deliveries, no 8 hours of highway running. I've done about 2.5 million pulling multi axle grossing 150,000+ in the last 20 years and 99% of that entirely in Michigan. Lots of 2 lane and average length of each load around 3-4 hours. I put in 65 to 70 hours a week with a substantial part of that being loading and unload time. I've been pulling B-train flatbeds almost exclusively for the last 14 years.Fine.

If ranching paid his bills he probably would have done only that. Once the truck is in the mix money wise, a guy might as well pull a few loads for $$ when ranching is slow. Probably parks the truck for calving and haying etc. If he is the relief truck for the steady haulers’ vacations etc it works.He pulled a fuel tank most likely local deliveries, no 8 hours of highway running.

There is no accounting for dumbassery from other drivers. Usually a couple of these locally every year, often involving a passing lane ending. Last one, the car took on a fully loaded 7 axle dump truck. Rough deal for the trucker.My Dad got a big award for driving 2 million accident free miles… then 2 weeks later was involved in a fatal after a fool tried passing on a curve on a 2-lane back road in Montana.
