I bet his next job will be with Darwin Transport, Inc.
I've never been in such a hurry that I couldn't STOP the truck long
enough to change clothes.
Speaking of being in a hurry, I recall being in the office of a
company I drove for in the US when the boss was blasting a driver for
being late on a run from Nashville to New Jersey. Or maybe it was
Connecticut. One of those God-forsaken Yankee states, anyway. The boss
was ripping him pretty good, asking him what time he left, how he ran,
and inquiring as to whether he dilly-dallied along the way. The
ass-chewing came to an abrupt halt and the boss just sat there with
nary a word to say when the driver indignantly blurted out in his
defense, "Doug, I ain't stopped but twice all the way up there. Once
to get fuel and once to jack off!"
What the hell could he possibly say to that?
Brett Robson
Surely, he could have combined the two stops?

I'm still trying to figure out why the second one necessitated a stop.
Brett Robson
got wipers on the inside?

Does each driver get his own truck that he always drives, or do you
switch trucks for each run?
If it's the latter, you may be glad that he actually stopped and (presumably)
got out of the truck.

In the US, that depends. LTL (Less-Than-truckLoad) carriers normally
get a different truck each time. These tend to be the small handful of
companies which still have unionized drivers. OTR (over-the-road)
drivers normally keep the same tractor.
