Yeah, I think the guy is a transporter, getting paid to haul people's stuff cross-country. That's the other thing--he was towing a hefty payload for most of those miles!
Also, with all due respect to the gentleman, the factory recommended oil change interval is not 3,000 miles. The manual for the '07 truck that has pretty much the same engine (5.9L) engine, recommends 15,000 mi oil changes normally and 7,500 mi for heavy towing applications. I assume it was the same in '01. Still, at 440 miles a day, a 10,000 mi oil change means every 3 weeks!
