Question:
I hate drivers who tell me that on occasions they have driven 30 straight hours..what idiots. Do you think they might be tired as hell..are they just trying to make lots of money? Showing off?
Doing a favor for the ol' dispatcher..I drive
a good 500 or so miles and then find a truck stop
and try to get some good REM sleep.Makes this business a lot easier.

Answer:
What company do you drive for?

Answer:
many others are a lot like the US Marshal Stories you hear. About 99% hot air.
As far as the ones who really do it.....the reasons are varied, but all pretty much equally stupid in my book.
I will always be a mutter trucker at heart.
