    When I said "day" it was meant as in work day/duty period, not 24 hour period.

    It's just something you get use to. I have driven 10 hours 42 minutes none stop once. My butt was a little soar, but had to so I could make up time. With the cruise you can kinda stretch your legs. And some druming does help too.

    Please for everyone family sake DO not drive like that, it is unsafe. Anything could have happen when he jumping around and someone could been killed.

    Be sure not to have the seat adjusted too high. Pressure from the front of the seat against the back side of your thighs above the knee is what often causes sore knees. And like others have said, vary your seat and leg position etc. periodically during the drive.

    You think a sore butt or stiff legs are bad?

    Wait till you don't have time (or more likely, can't find a place to park) and you can't get to a bathroom for 11 hours!!!

    Truck seats are built much differently than automobile seats and it's much easier to drive extended periods in trucks then in cars.
