Don’t ask me, I rarely do 13hrs driving and I am now sitting typing this 13hrs after parking up last night and I haven’t pulled the curtains back yet lol
I can do the odd 13 now and then but I certainly wouldn’t want to be doing it more than once or twice a week and preferably not at all. My biggest issue is my time off though, for me 10 hours is an absolute minimum and I’m certainly not one of those who moans about having to take so much time off. I don’t just drive and sleep, I want time to wind down, to eat, have a shower, watch tv or go on the internet and then have 7 hours or so sleep. You’re not going to be doing that on 8 hours off. If I’m going home for the night I always try and have 12 off, and my job usually allows for it thankfully.
If I have to have just 8 off in the name of progress, as in getting through Toronto or NYC etc before the traffic then I’ll make an exception but I really dislike doing so.
