(September 5, 2008)—UPS driver Brent Boyd logged his millionth mile Thursday in the delivery truck he’s driven for the last 22 years.

The odometer on Boyd's 1987 GMC truck rolled over to all zeros as he began his delivery route Thursday near Palestine.

The 51-year-old driver says he's never had an accident with his company vehicle.

Boyd told The Associated Press that his truck has gone through at least three engines and been repainted almost as many times, but he says he has resisted offers for a new van.

Boyd says the truck is "like home" and feels like "sitting in the recliner in your house."
