Night Driving tips

Welcome to Old Dominion, I just started with them 2 months ago and like you run linehaul at night.

The one thing I can say about them so far is they are very understanding when it comes to safety, if you find yourself getting sleepy STOP driving and take a 15-20 minute nap, that's better then the freight not getting there because it's in a ditch.

My advice pretty much goes with what the other guys said. I have found the life saver peppermints to be awesome not a lot of sugar and the peppermint helps me stay alert if that makes sense.

If you do get a run you're doing regularly do not stop the same place every night, it's important to keep things switched up.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
