Whats the most tired you have ever been?

Something tells me that wasn’t just sleepiness.

 

Did @TripleSix just get absorbed? What the hell, B.

 

I remember this one time i was so tired i was hualing a load of tires.

 

2016 towards the end of doing two rounds a week out of FL during the calf run. After unloading in OK I would always get back and sleep at the exit east of the Fulton scale on the MS/AL border. Woke up from a nap once and had no idea where I was, didn’t remember much after driving thru Memphis, but somehow I made it to my exit before going to bed.

 

And a One- a and a Too -a.

Saturday night was coming home to my good strict Christian Reformed parents partying with whiskey sours and the Lawrence Welk show.


And a next on our stage Bobby and Sissy doing a honor to a great olda tuna

 

And this Is Exactley what is the sickest most dangerous part of the HOS.


We as truck drivers should be able to stop and rest for whatever reason we feel is justified and be able to stop our 14 hour clock.

 

Going to Rush right out and rent that one. Thinkin Redbox will have it down the street

 

I'm so sleepy I thought you were Six...

 

Years ago when I was hauling cattle I ran really hard and often outside of the HOS. One run in particular that W900L only stopped long enough to unload and reload 4 seperate times for 23 hours of straight running. Days later I was at home in bed dreaming, that run in my mind...

I dreamed that I was driving very tired late at night under load and fell asleep at the wheel, then I woke up in my dream as I was going off the road at speed, at that moment I woke up in real life with a death grip on my pillow and stomping the foot board of my bed. It took me a few minutes to realize it had been a dream and then calm down, and I couldn't go back to sleep. From that moment on I swore I would NEVER push myself like that ever again.

I still have that dream on occasion if I'm have had a very stressful day and/or am extremely exhausted. One of these days that dream will probably kill me by giving me a heart attack.

That first time I had it is by far the most terror and fear I have ever felt... It is not a pleasant feeling.

 

I’m a night crawler meaning I prefer driving nights. But I’ll tell you the worst times to be driving while lacking sleep is when that sun is either coming up or down. Just tells the body time to sleep. That’s when I usually take my 30 min break take a nap for 30-45 mins and I’m right as rain.

 

I have disciples. It is evidence of mastery of my profession.
