Trucking in the USA: substitute dispatcher or how I arrived for a pickup while already loaded...
Starting a new work week on the road after a great vacation at home! In this episode, I'll show you all the "joys" of a truck driver's daily life in Florida and beyond.
On the program:
Loading in the scorching sun: How to move cargo when it's 100°F outside and your head is spinning.
Translation and logistics difficulties: I'll talk about working with a new dispatcher and how an address error can waste half a day and add up to extra miles.
Solar panels: We'll drive through vast fields of panels, visit a recycling center, and learn why photography is strictly prohibited at such sites.
Bureaucracy and passports: I'll share a story about how important documents can be "lost" in the US and offered to resolve the issue for $500. Roadside life: I'll show you some beautiful rest areas along the state line, we'll have a home-cooked lunch from my wife, and we'll compare the restrooms at different gas stations (spoiler: TA is amazing).
There's a lot of work to do, the heat is unbearable, but we keep moving!
