I've created this blog to allow my family and friends to see some of the places and things I have found interesting in my daily travels. I hope this gives you a glimpse into my life as an over-the-road truck driver.

Another stepping stone in trucking

Today I cross one more stepping stone. I bought this truck new in May of 2001 and it had 12 miles on the odometer. Today as you can see by the photo I went from nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine and nine tenths miles to one million. I sure hope this truck will last a lot longer as the price of trucks has gone up so much. I am going to put it in the shop next week to have the front end rebuilt and new tires. In my trucking I now have over 2 million miles. Over 1 million as a company driver and over 1 million as an owner operator.

I was on Interstate 70 in Ohio when the reading was comming up to all 9s so I pulled to the side of the road and took the first picture then proceed down the side of the road until all 0s came up and took the second picture.
