What do you do while driving for hours on end?

Does that sound like a good idea to you?

 

I listen to YouTube. With the auto play I can get it going while stopped and it will continually play. Right now I’m listening to a Bible study on Genesis, I have listened to several audiobooks, I have several playlists of different pastors as well. The learning is limitless.

 

I attend various seminars all delivered by either me or myself. Topic tomorrow is quantum physics. These seminars are typically 2-4 hours long and includes a buffet lunch. Price ranges from $80-$160 per attendee, depending on topic.

 

Audiobooks downloaded via overdrive app from local library. Good classic country music. Not the modern crapppy stuff.

 

You do your paper work, prepare for the next day then sleep.

 

While driving?

 

I think they call it multitasking. Supposed to be very efficient.

 

My two favorite things to do are: Watch the road and steer the truck, with the cruise on.
I dont listen to the radio, too much added noise to the truck noise. I dont talk on bluetooth. I dont watch videos.
If I get sleepy or tired, I pull into a rest stop or an on ramp, get out walk around, get a drink, use the bathroom. Look over the tires.

The longer the drive, the more I stop, as I get more tired as the shift wears on. I may take a nap for a half hour and then feel ready to roll on. I will also stop at a truckstop and get a frozen ice cream treat, which will refresh me, and maybe top off the fuel.

I usually stop at my favorite rest stop on I-35 about 5 miles south of the Minnesta border in Iowa and get a slice of apple pie ala mode....best pie you can get on the road. On the 2nd floor of the rest stop. They will warm up the pie for you before they put the scoop of ice cream on it.
