Just flip on the cruise control aka "auto pilot".

Just what we need. More food for the bottom feeding slip-and-fall lawyers.

At least once a week. Should I be logging sleeper birth for that?
Poacher Thanks this. -
I never had a problem in the Volvo 670. But once I got a Volvo 780 the struggle with a big ol sleeper became real lol. Can't say I haven't done it tho.

Right, find a nice long straight stretch of road, then lash the steering wheel like the do on ships, (if they still do that. . .) set your cruise control, and step back for a quick nap.

When I worked for Pepsi, I borrowed an old International for my route for a week while my truck was in the shop. It had the throttle adjustment knob for fast idle. I used that for cruise control, lol.
