Being a truck driver can be an exciting but demanding job. As a truck driver, you’re basically living on the road on your own or with a passenger or two. If you have passengers, they should be people you get along with and are able to trust.<\/p>\n
A solo driver travels alone on trips to make deliveries. They decide when they stop for breaks and where they want to stop for the day. They can stop for fuel, to eat and even get rest in order to stay fully focused while on the road. Having no passengers means having no possible distractions within the truck while on the road. Driving a semi truck isn’t the same as driving a car or van since it’s much bigger and is typically pulling a loaded trailer.<\/p>\n
No matter how careful of a driver you are, there’s still the possibility of an accident occurring. If you get into an accident, it’s good for the driver and passenger to have insurance. Both the driver and passenger should be aware of the basics of truck driving, and the driver should have a license at all times. With having a passenger, you won’t have to find somewhere to stop when the driver needs to rest. The passenger can take over the driving while the driver takes a break.<\/p>\n
Drivers with passengers have some advantages that solo drivers don’t have. There are also some disadvantages of driving with passengers such as spending money on two people instead of just one. Solo drivers may get lonely being in the truck all alone. Team drivers may occasionally get irritated at each other while being together in the truck. These are some of the main differences between being a solo driver and a driver with passengers. There are plenty of other differences when comparing the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
