Team Driving

sometimes........

 

I went team with a friend years ago. We did ok, and got along pretty well, but I can't imagine going team with a stranger. I don't like too many people to begin with, never mind spend that kind of time with someone, going through trianing will be bad enough.

 

one stays at home. till the others get back, then one from the truck goes home, and the one that was at home, gets in.....round and round it goes....

 

Should be a law. One dweller per truck max.

 

I'd only team with my wife or son nowadays. When I first started I was on the casual board but been to every warehouse except two out of maybe 50 or so. So they'd stick me with the new drivers because I knew where I was going. I hated most of them because they wanted to play truck driver and not get the job done. Then crawling in the box was scary too. I had one trip where we were up in Atlanta and had to go over to a small town. I did all the driving until then and just had to get some sleep. The next warehouse was only 2 hours away and I gave him all the directions. I went to sleep and woke up all refreshed and counldn't understand why until I looked at the time and it was 8 hours later. He had stopped at every truck stop to flirt with the waitresses and play the big trucker. Of course I told the boss I'd never team with that guy again.

So know who you're going with so you'll get along.
