While trying to validate your 12k number (its more likely 65k and thats not long-haul, http://www.afdc.energy.gov/data/10309) I found an interesting data sheet:

Thank you, that 12k number had me doing a double take. I drive more than that to/from work and around town for groceries and such. I have an old friend who runs a contracted local freight delivery service, he puts about 75k miles per year on his truck just delivering in the metro Atlanta area. His wheels are turning eight to ten hours per day, four or five days a week.

I personally travel 20k miles a year, and that's just to and from work!
