    Obviously not running 15-20 in tight areas or pump areas. I use smith system and constantly scan. Show me where it 8-10. I'm very used to watching for vehicles and pedestrians being a car hauler. I've never came close to hitting a pedestrian. Obviously in darker conditions a slower speed is Advised. I try to be parked by then.

    A couple threads about this recently. In the other someone talks about how 'so many' drive literally 1mph in the t/s while in this one we hear about the one's doing 45mph.

    Personally I've never seen either.

    It's pretty rare I'd be doing more than 10mph in a truck stop, usually less.

    It's not a place to make up time.

    Never understood the point of leaving your headlights on all night either but I see one doing it probably 70% of the time. Annoying and zero respect whatsoever...

    Nope I usually leave markers on. Never headlights, that drives me crazy. Or headlights and 16 fog/driving lights.

    So exhausted from running 36 hours straight on paper logs, they barely get the truck in the hole and collapse in the sleeper.
    Don't ask how I know this.
