Don't your legs get stiff from sitting in the same position all day

Put your seat all the way back, flip the cruise on and stretch them out. Or stop every few hours and stretch

 

First, you're only allowed to drive 11 hours a day. And there are a wide variety of seat cushions and back support products that help reduce discomfort. Dont drive with a wallet n your back pocket as that contributes t leg and back pain. I often set the cruisr and frequently stretch my legs and shift my sitting position. Your height and seat height can factor in. Plus your fuel stops and the new 30 minute break give you a chance t get out of the truck and stretch your legs. Once in a while my bum knee will bother me, but overall stiff legs arent a problem.

 

You tend to get used to such discomforts (or at least I did) over time.

Cruise switch will allow you to move your feet around a bit more and possibly completely stretch them out depending on the truck and your own height. But nothing will ever beat taking a short break and stretching while you can.

 

you put it on cruise and take a nap in the back..
or your feet on the dash....

 

I always try and get a couple of laps around the sleeper in while driving!

Correction, you can drive MORE than 11 hours in a day. You can not drive more than 11 hours in a 14 hour on duty period. But legally you can drive up to 13.25 hours per day with taking the new 30 minute break and also depending on fuel stops/pre and post trips or loading/unloading. Start at midnight and drive your 11, 10 off and you can drive again.

 

If I learned anything from that... It's that they have terrible music over there

 

Nah never. Just hit the cruise. Turn radio way up and start air drumming
including the double bass drums. Lol. Legs can actually get a good work out.
