I use to be in an occupation that meant I was driving a lot - often at night. No I weren't a trucker, but I did computer consulting , and was a network technician. Which meant; I was driving a lot - and almost always home when it was night.
Tired as hell, almost always, I realized pretty early on that this could be a hazard. I had a friend that was a real trucker, and when I asked him for advise on how to keep awake. He "prescribed" Death Metal (which he fuckin hated *LOL*), and he said it kept him awake because it was a tornado of mayhem - sounds that he loathed - so the high volume, plus the "hate-factor" -that,.... plus driving with an open window in the middle of the winter - kept him awake.
Well, I didn't intend to put myself through that kind of suffering, so instead I found that if I had loud music - with a hefty bass-kick in it - it kept me awake. So put in my big sub-woofer in the trunk of the car and then put together a playlist with groovy bass-pumping music. I don't mean some Euro-Disco pumping-beat, but instead some groovy music but with a hefty bass.
I'm a bass-player so I put in some of my fav-tracks, and when I put these on, turned up the volume - and it kept me awake like a gallon of coffee.
I mean, you lot probably fuckin hate this music, but know that; they kept me alive, driving through snowstorms, hefty autumn rains, tsunamis, and landslides, in the dead of night
....well, there were no tsunamis,....and there was only one landslide....but they kept me alive, from dying of boredom.
If you have two 18inch sub-woofers, bumping on full in the trunk, these songs will keep you awake -....if you like this kind of groove, I mean.
Enigma - Voyageur

Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle
David Bowie - Criminal World
Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl
...but as a speed-freak; this is one of the favorite songs
"Maxing out" on 300Â km/h (186Â mph) for "speed-demons" like these, they do it casually on their way to work. It is fuckin reckless, on so many levels - but in some way I can relate. But it should be done on a race-track, and not criss-crossing through night-traffic. It is reckless & dangerous...if one of the cars decided to change lane when he hurled by in 250kpm..."hamburger".....
LOOK AT VIDEO IN FULL-SCREEN - it kinda make s you feel you are there (for a bit)Â ....well if you have a really big TV-screen it does....but anyway.
