500,000 Miles

This past week my work truck turned to 500,000 miles. That is after 5yrs. and 7 Months. of driving it. This is the 3rd Truck that I have Driven that I have put that many miles on.

GiddyUpGirl I dont think you can get that on the old Honda.

Way to Go Sportsman.... You show her how it's done...

Nicely done Sportsman!!!

Nice...
I have to say, I wouldn't want to do even 100,000 on the Honda. That is too much!

I am impressed by the "overall" miles...
I can't imagine having driven over 1.5 million miles in my life...
Good thing you're getting paid to do it!

GUG that is just in 3 trks that I put over 500,000 miles on. That doesnot count all the others that I have been in and out of the past 25 yrs. some I only had for a week some were up to 6 months or more.

Congrats Sportsman. Is it time for a new one yet? What's the most miles you have put on one rig?

Maybe one of the brainiacs on this site can compare the amount of body abuse one takes riding a Honda 450 6000 miles compared to traveling half a mill in your 18 wheeled cruiser. That's a lot of miles...

Sportsman don't think I'll ever catch up with you. I managed 50,000 last year.

HA-HA there PP and DJ!
I really dunno...maybe I'm just sentimental...
"Save a horse, ride a grizzly" just doesn't have the same ring as "Save a horse, ride a Honda!"

PP the most on 1 trk was 599,000 miles on the last trk I had at the other Co. I worked for. That took 5 yrs. and about 5 months. It was an International Cabover Trk that was no where near as comfortable as the Volvo trk I now drive.

The lease is up on my trk next march. So sometime between now and then, they will either get me a new one, or I will end up with someone else's used one.

You drive a truck for that many miles... I'd think you'd deserve a new one.

Good Luck

Congrats Sportsman -- Man, that's A LOT of seat time.

That is very impressive Sportsman! It’s a shame you don’t drive a big brown truck because then a lot of people in this area would see you more often. They love it when the brown truck comes to visit!!

HA! That's true Mary!

!!!Update!!!

My truck has now made a new record, still have the same one, Was wishing I could get a new one but I guess thats not going to happen anytime soon.

61*F AT 02:09, IT WAS SNOWING HERE TODAY!!!!!!

Grizz, That was actually Tuesday afternoon in Massachusetts. wish it was that warm here today. had snow on I-68 on my way home.

100K miles in ~ 13 months

man thats a lot of road trips Sportsman.

Congrats Sportsman! That's a lot of road memories.

Was told by the Boss That I may have to give up my Volvo in Jan. Wish I could keep it for another couple years. I most likely will end up with a "Ryder lease a junk" Freightliner truck that is worn out and falling apart.
