As a passenger in the car, whats the things a driver does that pisses you off, makes you uncomfortable, or terrifies you?

  • So I'm a truck driver and I've found that music just can't keep my attention, I don't know if you'd be into it but audiobooks are the only way I can avoid doing this because I gotta know what happens next and if I switch it up I can't find out until later.

  • You'd think they'd just pass the cost of the better test on at an 8000% markup like they do with everything else.

    • What are the best (or worst) parts of your job?

  • I'm a truck driver and I deliver fuel to gas stations.

    I really enjoy driving around all night listening to podcasts or audiobooks when nobody is on the road and when I do my deliveries sometimes I get to witness 3am gas station drama.

    The worst parts for me are the long shifts and sometimes having to stand out in the rain.

    I really like my job and it pays well.

  • I'm surprised to not see any gyro lovers in this thread.

    • What was a book so good that you have ReRead it?

  • M-O-O-N that spells, The Stand!

    • For the thing you're in charge of, what does it take to do a good job?

  • I do think most companies do a good job and safety is their priority and most drivers have the right mindset. I feel that paying drivers by the mile instead of percentage of the load or hourly is the biggest factor in why drivers try to rush and get frustrated though so if that was an industry wide change I think it would help. Overall I think that unsafe drivers are a very small portion of the workforce but the average person would only notice those few, a polite, safe, driver is mostly unnoticed because they're just doing what you expect.

  • I'm a truck driver and it takes constant attention and awareness and an expectation that other drivers WILL try to kill themselves using my truck. It also helps to have a ton of patience, and if you're an irritable person or quick to "road rage" you have no business behind the wheel of an 80,000 lb machine. Just always pay attention and be vigilant, and be safe, not fast.
