    I do that all the time....Usually fuel after my first 3 hours and that covers my 30 minute break.
    Then it is 8 hours hammer down until my clock runs out....You get used to it.

    And 8 hours is minimum of 400 miles and realistically 480.

    I like to drink water a lot so i guess i will need to have that piss bottle handy. You are supposed to drink at least a gallon of water a day.

    yes you will. Not enough drivers pay attention to their health in light of the new hours of service rules and that's a shame
