I have done a fair bit of double manning . Mainly Europe and max hours to get stuff to or from the destination on time .
It works really well if you are paired with a compatible other driver , it soon gets tense if you don’t see eye to eye with the person in the other seat . If you regard the cab as your own personal space then having another person in very close proximity for up to a week or more could be a problem.
I have only had one trip with another driver for a couple of days that I certainly wouldn’t care to repeat . Even very minor delays or problems got him huffing and puffing and he was very poor at decision making and following instructions .
Having a mobile karaoke at 3am on the Brenner Pass was one of the better trips with someone that has become a firm friend . We have been all over the UK, Ireland and Europe together and have freely swapped knowledge and experience.
It can get very tiring doing several 21 hour stints on the trot , but the money racks up quickly if it’s hourly paid at a decent rate .
Do you trust the other driver enough to hit the bunk while he does a driving stint ?
Or do you have to watch him like a hawk ?Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk
Thanks for this mate. Yes, I trust his driving fine.
Do you know of any firms that can be approached for this type of work?
