I was so tired one night some jogger kept staring at me and no matter how fast I ran the truck, he stayed right there staring at me. Finally realized I was looking at my own reflection.
Popped a couple more pills to wake me up and kept the hammer down.
I had left Ft. Lewis, Washington with a military truck on a flatbed trailer going to Wilmington, NC. A husband/wife team left the same time I did and I beat them to Wilmington.
Whats the most tired you have ever been?

Let's just say slapping myself to stay awake. Back in the 2010 days being dispatched like a nut about to crack. 2 hours of sleep per day avg for 3 days at a time running east back to the Midwest. For CHR loads at .25 cpm.

ps: I've done some 'dream driving' in my paper days. Even recall dreams to this day; heading to MI and swore I was en route to Miami.

I've never been so tired that I hallucinate but I have woken up in my sleep thinking I was still driving. It's pretty scary. Hate it when that happens!
