Thanks everyone for all your insights into operations. Things are pretty close to truckers rules for locals in regards to call times etc. I learned from experience to plan my rest stops and also not waste rest time at bars,lady baiting etc.,but not before being in tight circumstances due to nobodys fault but my own. I've seen overpasses seem to almost meet the road ahead,causing a heavy footed brake application,(tunnel vision).Get the nods and see the rear doors of a box trailer seem to be in the windshield,(hundred feet away),again the brake application.Both mirages caused by either lack of sleep or over work. Of course after these incidents happened i fell out of the cab on shaking knees and beat myself with a tire billy for being so dumb.Any of you trainmen ever had tunnels close up on you,tracks come to a point and dissapear?
