I know that you have 11 hours of driving then you have to rest for 9 but it's hard to tell how much time you have left to drive if you use up an amount in a different job. I'm requesting a feature that tells you how much more time you have before you need to rest. I do know that you have the bed which fills in blue but it's still really hard to tell how much time you have left.
Kind Regards,

good idea, perhaps one could attach the sleep function in the interior of the truck (dashboard) well visibly....z.b. in the navi integrate...

It already exists in the virtual gps ... Try scrolling through the different views it has, one of the views shows how much driving time you have left.

In addition, you can also switch between whether the GPS should show distance and driving time to destination, or the nearest waypoint (which can be a rest area, for example)

Your have that info in F5

F5 is map - F6 shows time before next rest.

If you had a smartphone use a sim dashboard programm. There you can see all Information you wan't to see.

I use Sim Dashboard on an old 8" tablet.
Displays all the info I need at a glance without using any "F" keys and maintains "immersion" by not having any form of UI on screen
Also has usable buttons should you wish
I also use this when I'm racing for a screen free of clutter

i think the timer and your sleep function should be separated. the two are essentially one in the same in the game. The driver time function should be stand alone from the sleep function as you may run out of driver time but not necessarily tired, vice versa.

Aren't both are shown in F5 and F6 ?

Personally I just wish that there was a way of seeing the driver on duty time remaining in the game desktop somewhere, rather than having to switch to the cabin of the truck, press F6, read the information and then switch back to the desktop.

pretty sure the next rest stop time is just the sleep gauge in numeric value. What im saying is that the two things should be different. So say youre tired and screening is fading, but you still have 3 hours left on your drive time, you still pull over because you are falling asleep. or youre sleep gauge is not red yet but you have to pull over and stop because your driver time has expired.

As I said, I have a lot of essential (IMO) info on my tablet display which sits next to my steering wheel in field of view so I dont even need to look away from road ahead.
I can see time to finish delivery and time to next rest stop so I know if I have the time to complete delivery.

Yes, you have to sleep even if there is still three hours of driving to reach your destination...

Your driver time would never be expired if your sleep gauge is not red, they are, as you said, just the same thing on numeric and graphic forms.

Just to clarify this point:
When you only have 3-4 hours of driving time left, it is time to check the map for where the next rest area is, and possibly get a viapoint there.

Most rest areas have a driving time of 2-3 hours between them .. But Not all.

Especially in Iberia there are some stretches where there is well over 3 hours between 2 rest areas, and also on a highway stretch up near Skt. Petersburg there is more than 3 hours drive between 2 rest areas.

It is therefore wise to always check the route for rest areas before starting a trip.
