I remember several years ago a number of folks that bragged about how they could drive 800-1000 miles a day for several days at a time and have no problems. There was also a guy that bragged about how he could make the run from N.Y. to Florida in one long day with no problems pulling a 30-some foot fifth wheel. Lately you don't see it online that much because some folks have figgered out that anything you say online can be accessed by anybody. Hummm,you are driving along and nod off and hit someone after driving for 15 hours and the other persons insurance company googles your name and up comes a couple of postd about how long you drive at a stretch. Oppss,you're busted.
Oh and there's a little thing called sleep apnea,which is called the #1 cause of auto accidents.
I have never figgered out just how some of them could brag about it and then complain about truck drivers. I drive a school bus and charter bus on occasion and have to have a CDL-B with an airbrake and student endorsements and as such can only drive for a certain amount of hours at a time. A truck driver with an A cdl has to run with a log book and that sucker had better be right on the money.
Very well said!!!
