I'm guessing you did between 14/16 hours and personally I think that's dangerous. Granted it was a good weekend tho :D

I'm PH...and if I drive 9 hours on any given day it's the exception and not the rule, normally a good average day might be 4 or 5 hours driving, and if I drive 9 hours I'd be well ready to call it a day and do no more...

I started 06.00 and finished at midnight although most of the last 6 hours were spent handling the calls in the office I call that normal everybody is differant some drivers can cope with a long shift as long as they have a good rest in the middle others can only manage 8 hours in a 24 hour period as long as you know your limits
