    now i know a lot of drivers drive when there to tired and nod off, thats just plain nuts.
    i dont care what the reason dont do it , your company wants you to keep on driving , TELL THEM TO DRIVE THE #### TRUCK, a broker trys to push you simpel tell him to get bent and turn your phone off till you wake up none of the reasons you can think of is worth dying for and if you do it thats what will happen sooner or later and once you start it becomes a habbit real easy, JUST DONT DO IT if not for you for your famly it just aint worth the risk.
    and as a matter of fact the law says when you operate that big thing that makes all the funny noises YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE just turn the #### key off and go to bed .

    My basic philosophy was 'if I'm too tired I'm parking' and that was that. I had a certain time of day where it didn't matter if I had just woke up, I couldn't keep from getting drowsy while driving. I planned my trips around that as best I could, and just didn't drive during that three hour time span.

    Nothing is worth falling asleep behind the wheel no matter what you are driving.

    Why push yourself, pull over and do he shake. Works for me from time to time.
