About a year and a half ago my boss came up to me and asked if I had been to California lately. I said no. He said he had gotten a call from the CHP saying that they were investigating an accident involving a truck. When they put in the tag number it was My tag. I got a lot of flack for being able to drive from Tn to Ca overnight and back and get involved in a wreck on top of it. We were local so my truck was a day cab. I told them it was fast but not that fast.
whats the longest you have drove without stopping?

In the long run that is better for your body to get out of the truck and move
around some. While I can and have gone farther than that when I do I can hardly move for the first couple minutes.
When I was driving I tried to stop every 3 hrs even if for just a couple mins so as to stretch my legs. -
