    Yeah, getting lost has a way of making you not interested in music anymore. You turn it down. Then you starting thinking to yourself.. Im supposed to turn left here at 183, but there's only a right turn...wtf. Wait let me stop and I'll check my phone. My phone has poor signal, it's not loading...wtf... wheres my maps. Where am I? wtf.. I'm supposed to be at 183... WTF!?

    one spot in particular comes to mind. Indiana 94 going East just before 65 south I’d get all the over to the left lane even though my truck only went 63 because cars would kamikaze into to exit lane instead of merging like civilized adults

    Podcast, music, audio books, etc. Plenty to keep entertained. Most new trucks have bluetooth stereos you can sync your phone up to.

    I don’t know what I’d do without my hard rock and country music driving down the road, probably go insane

    ^^^^^^ this ....My truck is in the shop and our w900l was just in for maintenance so I hooked it up to my trailer. Anytime it’s in our yard I drive it until they take it away from me lol. 3406e motor.. my main truck is a Cummins but after you drive a Cat I honestly don’t see how you can drive anything else.. it’s like driving an airplane haha. Ahh man the “shoooooo”as you let off the throttle is also heavenly. I wish all drivers this experience one in their lifetime.

    You’re kidding? I can’t drive with some music. Now I don’t pump the volume that high. I’ll leave it high enough that I can still hear the gps talk. Also with the other question it’s good to take a short break every 4 hours to atleast stretch and relieve yourself.
