Three thirty five in the morning, leaving New York City probably after dark well into the evening hours. A tough shift to drive.
Closest I've done is to drive school buses on long trips full of kids. Forty people weigh a whole lot, changes the entire driving characteristics of the bus.
Rainy night, icy roads, no relief driver mentioned. Musta been an absolutely horrible feeling when the driver felt that bus going out of his control.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
