The second type of driver is the only type you can be. Anyone doing it any different than that is clueless. There is zero stress involved when you’re the second driver. It also drives management nuts when you’re the second driver. They want people invested. They love mad drivers who bitch and moan. Show up, punch in, verify airs, work at a safe pace, follow every single method. Bring back missed. File any necessary grievances. Confirm check is in bank account on Friday morning. Rinse and repeat.
Black Friday still optional here. Didn’t work. Year before I left for feeders they tell everyone you can start at 7:30am on Monday. I was the only driver that didn’t start early. 72 drivers I was the only one. I stroll in at the start time without a care in the world. Not a single driver there. Every truck gone but mine. Walk over to my load, bricked. With an entire days work piled behind that didn’t fit. My center manager had smoke coming out of his ears because I didn’t start early. It was a beautiful sight to see on my way out of the building
