Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

Nope enlighten me I’m curious I have been watching what I eat no more energy drinks my buddy on the other hand his health is pretty bad doesn’t sleep well he probably gets 4-5 hours maybe bad sleep apnea and doesn’t want a sleep ap machine

 

Pretty sad he hasn’t done anything about it yet and he’s only only 29 he smokes a lot and probably 6’1 350

 

I shoot for 6 hours of sleep a night, if I get any more than that I am sluggish and out of sync the whole day. But, I am much lighter than he is and don't smoke (and have a job where I get some physical activity)

 

I agree, 6 hours sleep per night is about right for me too. If I get much more I just don't feel like doing anything.

 

Then why do we have to take a 10 hour break?

 

Because the Gestapo says so.

 

Because a government bureaucrat 1500 miles away knows when you are tired.

 

Because a lot of today's flipflop wearing seat warming specialists have to get their beauty sleep. Back when we only had to take 8 hrs off, I don't remember seeing so many accidents where drivers crash into stopped traffic back then. Of course, this was before cell phones and easy access to the internet. But it was also when truck drivers were more professional. Now any hairy ### moron that applys for government funding can take a truck driving course at their local community college, get their CDL, then apply at a training company and go thru 2 weeks of training with a trainer and "they iz a truk dreyever ". Free to crash into anyone in their path.

 

I remember paper logs when you just made it up as you went.

 

I ran paper logs when I first started I was really nervous running paper having being checked by DOT
