Ako naman, from Pampanga to Laoag (one way, almost 500 kms yata). Nangawit yung kanang hita at binti ko, I let my left leg drive for a few minutes while my right leg was stretched out, right foot on dashboard, wife's hands massaging the leg.

No back aches, though. Never felt any tiredness and sleepiness, except I felt a little sleepy when driving home on the SCTEx after a full meal at Isdaan. I blame that on the full meal.

I wouldn't dream doing that using an M/T, though.
