Personally, I only fill up either at the completion of a load, OR after reloading and scaling. Unless I have to fuel going in to get free parking (some places give free parking if you fill 50-75 gallons), I don't top off on route, unless it's a 1500 mile or more run, and then, I do it when I pull in or prepare to leave(as part of pti)

These guys saying they do 650-700 miles must be driving in the southwest. East coast, actually anything east of IL or LA I would say average speed is 50mph considering construction zones accidents etc... Lucky to get 500 miles.
5 minute pee breaks? Dont know how thats possible unless you pee on the side of the road (illegal).Harita Parson and bryan21384 Thank this. -
I don't pre plan much. Except where I will sleep, and fuel. Everything else is a shot in the dark. If I park to sleep In same town I pick up, or deliver, I may just use yard move to get to customer.
Harita Parson Thanks this. -
I only run 1500-2000 miles/weekHarita Parson and MBAngel Thank this. -
I'm using travel planners apps. But not everybody can use smartphone apps. They are simple but not for all people. I think it's very useful to plan your life not only traveling. So, as for me, there is a problem solving for those people. My husband uses just the pocket notebook which he uses even for planning our car travelling. That's Field Notes Expedition Notebook https://www.amazon.com/Field-Notes-FNC-17-Expedition-3Pk/dp/B00AQO8Q88
If you want to choose some another for yourself I can recommend you to read some reviews of pocket notebooks. The 10 best pocket notebooks for 2018 for example.
Wish you to get more experience from your new wayfarings! -
