    Can't complain. Most of the time drivers complain about not getting good miles but they're not willing to run those last couple hours or they want to stop every couple hours. The weeks vary but they seem to average themselves out over time.

    A lot of it has to do with good management. And that's basically what you're saying.

    I never could drive without stopping for bathroom, even if it was just on the side of the road. You have to stretch at some point.

    You must be regional samurai. Most of the time I had to do the night driving when I was teaming. Staying up all night was hard. I would pull over when sleepy to get up and walk around about every 2 hours.

    Yep i am regional now. when i was otr i used to try to drive the whole 10+ hours with no stop. every now and then i would stop for a bathroom break. i found that when i drank soda it would make me have to go alot more than when i drink water.

    I'm averaging about 200 miles less per week right now but that's pretty much normal for this time of year. It'll pick up after new years. On the other hand I've been able to spend my nights at home most of the last few weeks. Summer time I am so busy I rarely get to do that.
