When I was out on tour, I found that driving all night, despite how many people you alternate with you, is still a big pain. While it’s imperative that we made it to each city and venue on time, resting and sleeping was still a major priority.
That being said, we found that truck stops are a good place to take it easy. Personally, I’ve found them far safer than a baseball field or school. Truck stops usually have state patrol cruising around the premises and there’s usually free coffee, albeit slightly terrible, I’d like to reiterate the fact that it’s free.
Best of all, you can sleep for four hours and feel a little bit more refreshed once you hit the open road.
