I crossed over the one hundred thousand mark a couple of months ago. Holy shit at all that driving. All the shit you see out there. Completely worth it. Ten more years of this shit and I'll join the million mile club. Wahoo! Hmmmmm. Later, QD.
Damn son that's a lot of miles. Do you get paid by the mile?

I've seen a lot of shit in that time, too. And this was only for a year and a half worth of driving. I've stood on the shores of the Great Lakes and, in the same day, seen Niagra Falls and still had time to get to back down to Knoxville, TN. Then right back up to Rochester, NY and up to Canada via Maine. Then slid down through Boston, NYC, Baltimore and Philly. That's not even the half of it, dude.Originally Posted by Danzo
And by the load. I get paid much, much more driving "local" than I did OTR. Later, QD.Originally Posted by Danzo

Actually, yes I do. When I make the longer runs. I'll stop at the QT by the terminal, grab a couple of cokes (I have a fridge in the truck) and a couple of smaller bags of chips and snack along the way. When I'm local, I don't do too much worrying about eating because I'm always hurrying to get done with my run so I can get on the next load. Being local (around 285) pays off big time at $40/load and grabbing about 7-8 loads a day. Later, QD.Originally Posted by 350ZFTW
$40 that barley pays for gas?Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ

How do you do 2500 a week with 100 miles on an 8 load day?Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
Im just confused. because if you do 2500 a week, you should hit the million in less than 6 years.
but if 2500 is an exception then you might have 10 years or so...
I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

115k is a lot especially since you've had your local route for a while.Good job keeping it rubber-side down.
I was telling Scotsman last night I did 3k this last week, but that is DEF the exception. Still Im a Road Warrior too, just not in a big rig. I've put 60,000 in 10 months. It will slow down though, I'm not on the road M-F anymore.
hmm, good job man.
i know when my dad used to drive he had a little over 700k on his truck.
but i don't know how much he drove in one year.
thats pretty good bank in one year man.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
