Hey, I get really tired while driving, short breaks help, caffeine doesn't. Service calls pretty far apart. Anybody have any tips/strategies?

I used to do that until i got tested for sleep apnea. things are alot better now.
I found that chewing gum helps too.
Try to get 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night, more on the weekends.
If you're becoming a walking zombie, and you're face starts to tingle, pull off of the road, and take a 30 minute nap. It's better than wrecking the car ... again.
Beyond a certain point, stimulants, caffeine, cold air (like driving with the windows wide open), and slapping yourself, will not help, even for a few minutes. This is the voice of experience. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Stop driving stoned. LOL
I've found that listening to audio books helps me from zoning out on long drives.
You could play energetic music while driving. This is probably outdated now, but I found this useful back in the day:
Or if you don't like that type of music you might consider something like this:
That might be a bad idea though, if you ever get into the beat too much it can end stupidly.
Feeling sleepy?
There's a nap for that.
Seriously, though, I have never been shy about taking short (maybe 20 minute or so) naps when I get to that point. It's just not worth the risk.
Not just anywhere though; roadside parks, highway rest areas, and the like. NEVER in a customer's parking lot, no matter how minuscule the chance they may see you.
I'm sure stopping somewhere and going for a walk would be a healthier, smarter solution, but not always possible, especially in crummy weather.

i find a short nap or a short stroll of even a few blocks helps. instead of music, sometimes I listen to talk radio.
