If you're going to do something, you might as well enjoy it. That's
always my thinking. Or at least don't put yourself in a position
to not enjoy something, when it could be avoided.

He still has some latitude for how he approaches things. Besides,
he's asking for advice. Not everyone is going to have the same
approach.

You're talking about professional drivers who know what they can
do, and hopefully, when they need a break.
I would say, for the average person, back to back 8 hour days would
be fine, but you're not going to want to drive on the next day. If
you _have_ to, try to understand your limits, and play it safe.
One way to do that is not to drive 8 hours both of those days in
the first place.
