Used to be around 35000 - 40000 a year doing 100 kms a day, 6 days a week.
Going off how far I drive now, wouldn't be anymore than 10,000km a year.

Assuming 10 hrs of work a day at 70km per hour, thats 700km per day or 3500km per week. Not sure if your amount is possible.

Although I think Danny goes all over the place - not unlike his driving - I only drive from near the Vic Border to the Qld border 5 times a fortnight.

I don't do as much as the truckies out there ... but I mainly cover the Sydney metro area when doing courier work ... on average that can be 300-400km for the day.
Then I can do the odd country job here and there (longest run was a 1700km round trip - overnight next day). And when travelling to and from my Optus office job ... I travel from Kurrajong to Chatswood ... so that round trip is 150km for the day (as I live 75km from work). So I have varied distances ... depends on work and where I get sent. Last year I only managed 60,000km ... but for the first part fo the year I didn't do that much in the way of courier work .... i think this coming year I will have many more added to that.

I avoid the Cross Sh1tty Tunnel like the plague.
LOL. I don't mind metro ... I am used to Sydney traffic ... I thought it was full of bad drivers ... untile I went to Melbourne .... JEEEEEEZUS. I was shocked at the amount of people that can't drive at all down there. Sydney traffic seems civilised and somewhat educated ... LOL (except for "most" of city taxi drivers though). I'd rather do country mileage as well ... metro is not too bad though (in a ute that is ... dunno about a truck). Inner city ... well ... it's survival of the fitest in there somedays. It takes it's toll though ... the ute needs very regular servicing ... my 60,000km per year wear and tear is much different from country 60,000km wear and tear. I do a monthly oil change (filter every 2 months) ... transmission service nearly every 2nd month ... brake pads seem to last me 6months/30,000km ... luckily my 17" tyres have lasted me 50,000km so far and I still have plenty left on them. Coolant flush every 3 months. It's not cheap really ... I do get discounts though ... but it still adds up ... and so do tolls ... thank God I am running LPG ... otherwise I'd need to take a loan out to afford any other form of fuel.

Approx 500km/week. That's approx 26,000/year.
Sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends.
