999,999 km and counting
REDCLIFF, AB — Ross Murray isn’t surprised his Ford F-350 is still on the road, despite the odometer reading 999,999 kilometres.
Murray and his wife bought the truck, which they’ve named Black Beauty, brand new in 2005. It was meant to replace his last welding truck, which had more than 800,000 km.
“I work on the pipeline and I work for a crew out of Brooks, so everyday for many years I drove up to Brooks in the morning at 5:30 a.m. and then we’d drive to the job from there,” he said.
