How To "Rest" ..?

[Tesityr]

Just wondering how to Rest Up, as I noticed my Rested indicator is almost empty - I looked at the Local Map and Zoomed In to find a Local Rest Stop (Motel, etc) and I found one and set a Waypoint - but then it said I could not "drive freely" because I did not Own a Truck yet! haha

Nice touch and I get it, but how do I 'rest' then? (The tutorial did not state this, or I missed it?)
Do you automatically 'reset' your Rest, if you don't own a Truck (staying at a Motel, etc) automatically once a Quick Job is done?

I'm scared to Take A Job and fall asleep at the wheel! lol

Thanks for any guidance

on quick jobs you rest automatically when you swap jobs

Ah, thank you! I was scared to take on another job haha




Edit:
Suggestion: Perhaps state this in the game somewhere, for us total newbies to Truckin'... heh
Loving the relaxing game so far though [again, sorry if I actually missed this somewhere, I could be wrong with it 'not being stated somewhere in the game']

After each quick job, you rest completely. If you are driving your own truck, you have to go to rest stops. You can easily fall asleep behind the wheel with ungood results every time.

If your quick job is long enough, you may have to rest before you complete it. Your employer should factor rest time into your trip if that's the case.

To rest, you need to find a rest stop or motel and park in the resting area. Often, that's easy to spot, but sometimes it's tricky. You get a message when you can rest. Park, stop the engine, and press the control the game tells you to use to rest. You visit the Sandman for a while and then come back to life to drive again.

Thanks a lot! Great stuff - I'm sorry if I missed this somewhere in the game.

Thank you for explaining about the 'long trip, factored in time'- that was in the back of my mind too, heh.
