When we pulled over to gas up or to eat, the bpm went back down to 50+- bpm. This was sustained throughout a 6+ hour drive today. Does anyone have any relatable experience with this? This is the first time driving the rig since a remodel. is this just my nerves or is this normal when driving a rig down an interstate?

Interesting, I would not have thought of this. I have a Fitbit and easy to monitor, so I'll have to look during the next trip. About the only angst I know I get is in going thru a narrow toll booth, worried about clipping one of the mirrors. I usually now just focus on one of the mirrors and it's distance from the wall, and 'know' (well hope), that I must be narrower than other trucks.
