Free Time
I'm just now starting driving school so I have'nt been out yet. I was wondering what there is to do to pass the time while you'r not working?
Thanks,
Goodfella

If you go to work for the right company, you won't have to worry about what to do in your free time as you won't have any. Myself, I have to beg them for it at times where I am now.

No lie. :lol:
When I drove OTR, if I had time, I would look around in the truck stop, do laundry, or watch TV. Lots of times, I would piddle around in the truck, or go over paper work, stuff like that. For the most part, I used to get to a truck stop, fuel, grab a shower, eat, and crash.

For the most part free time is used to either get rest or take care of personal business. Time management is one of the hardest things new drivers have to learn, but once you do learn it you will find that there is time to get everything done that needs doing.

I've got a DVD (with about 50 movies), TV, Internet, Computer games, and PS2 to keep me occupied.
Work? Never heard of it.

Truthful answer?
Not on a PG rated forum, I'm afraid.
