It's not uncommon for me to take a 2 hour drive if I don't have to go anyplace lol. Most of my long trips are on the highway so I don't really notice I guess. It's nice to have a truck on the highway, you can always see what's going on ahead of you. When I was painting and sandblasting water towers I was the only person on my crew with a drivers liscense so we'd leave at like 10pm, get there at 7am work till it got dark. Fun stuff. and I have friends in different states so I'm use to 6-10 hour drives straight through. Only think I hate is when you start nodding out and jerking your neck up real fast. Scares the **** out of me everytime.

It's funny, you think it'd be impossible for something so drastic to happen, but I've done that before as well. You just keep dozing off, and you can't stop. It would suck the most of if you didn't wake up in time before you hit an oncoming car or went off the road though.

yeah nodding off sucks. i have a 45min. drive everyday to go to school to make to my 8 am classes. and when i stay up studying its pain in the ***. the second week of school traffic was real bad and i did end up hitting a chevy. thats why i just got a new chrome bumper! but he need new rear bumper and it some how screwed up his fender behind his tire, like the bumper went into and bent the lower part of the panel... stupid chevy's... anyway i go to bed alot earlier now!

No I don't, and I do long drives from SoCal to eastern Washington (about 1300 miles). It helps that I am running stock Michelins, pretty quiet, and have a shell and insert to add weight and smooth out the ride. The Flowmaster 40 runs pretty smooth at freeway speeds so no annoyance from that on a long run.
