Back in 2000, I had to drive from Illinois to Texas because my mother was moving back there. I was driving a small car and she was driving a 14ft. U-haul truck. Normally, it takes 24 hrs. non stop. But with the truck the fastest she could go was 45 mph. We, fortunately, had walkie-talkies so we were always in communication (she didn't have a cell phone). My mother is impatient and persistent so she insisted that we travel straight through. I've never taken the trip B4, so I didn't know what to expect. It was early March, so the weather was cold to give u an idea and I was on NoDoz. 40 hrs. later and on only 1hr sleep in those 40 hrs, I was shot. Somewhere in Louisiana, she took a wrong exit and cars and semi trucks were whizzing by and it took it's toll on my nerves. By the time we got home I was sick to my stomach, swaying and exhausted. Now, I can't drive on expressways w/o getting very nervous. Am I being paranoid? I feel like I was traumatized by that trip.
