"verifiable" miles?
Just a curiosity......occasionally I will see a cdl job listed in the paper with a requirement of a certain number of "verifiable" miles (usually 100,000 but not always) of experience. I always wondered just what makes a mile verifiable?

In my experience, most companies when checking a work related reference will ask how many miles you drove for them, not just how long you were employed there.
Most otr drivers average between 10-12,000 miles per month, so that would be roughly 1 year of experience. Hope this helps!

They miles that they varify are the DISPATCHED miles. The driver may have actually put on more than that, but it's the miles that the driver was dispatched on that count. For his pay as well. With most companies, if a driver has been with them at least a year, he's also got more than 100,000 dispatched miles.
