Staying Awake?

the schooling companys have the right idea. dont stop or you will be let go and replaced by a student. they dont care if your haert stops.

 

Its amazing what a quick walk will do to wake you up. Many times I have found myself drifting off. I find a rest area, truck stop, parking lot, whatever. Get out, walk around the lot. Do some jumping jacks, pushups, kick the tires. Who cares what the other drivers think?

This is however, only a temporary fix. It will get the blood going and give you about an hour or two to finish the run or shut down for the night.

 

Take a nap periodically works. I have a cup of coffee, listen to cb while driving and before leaving truckstop i wash my face with warm water...feels good and wakes me up

What I have found that works the best is talking on the phone. I know it's illegal in some states, but I only do it at night
when there are very few cars on the road and I always use bluetooth.
