    Driving at night is good. Alot less traffic to deal with and can relax a little.

    If the moon is full and the sky is clear, i love driving at night, but when its dark and raining, nope ill drive during the day, that goes for icy slick roads day time driving so i can see whats going on.

    I prefer driving at night, but I prefer DELIVERING or picking up during the day.

    Nothing beats mountain driving at night during the summer when you let the jake wide open around corners. Just you, the road, the mountain ranges with the jake echoing off the ridges.....and all the critters (big and small) running for cover!!!

    In trucking, you'll get a good mix of day and night driving. Depends on what time you pick up, when the load delivers etc. Just don't be one of those fools that thinks he/she can stay up all day waiting to load, then drive all night like some kind of super trucker. All the trucks you see in the ditch at 5 am just before the sun comes up, are one of those fools.
