Stopping Early Beats Fighting Fatigue Down the Road
This piece is a reminder that pulling up before fatigue gets on top of you is part of doing the job properly. On the road, that matters because tired driving creeps up fast, and once you start missing signs or losing patience, your judgement and reaction time are already taking a hit.
Operator note: At the start of your shift, pick one rest area where you will stop and reassess how you are travelling, even if you still feel okay when you get there. If you catch yourself reading the same sign twice, pull in there and rest instead of pushing on.
