    Yeah its boring. Near crane you can get good internet, for the most part. At night the roads are vacant. I listen to internet radio am670 or wabc770. Its real boring.

    To the OP. water hauling is easy work and doesn't require much mental thought or physical work. 17 hours in an office is very tiring because your mind will require lots of energy. Driving 17 hours straight is tiring because you are mentally alert (or should be lol) draining lots of energy.

    diet plays a big role. Eating junk food and drinking soda will tire you out.

    I can do 17 hours a day and do it on a regular basis. Proper diet and exercise is key.

    with off duty well site you can log a 17 hour day legally. Texas and oklahoma both are very off duty well site friendly. Pennsylvania is not! North Dakota is still the Wild West for now.

    When do you have time to exercise doing 17 hour days regularly. Sleep/recovery is as important as exercise
