Make Your Trip More Interesting
So many days seem to turn into nights and nights into days when I have a long road trip with my truck. One way to avoid the pitfall of boredom (which by the way, I am sure you know anyway, can be extremely dangerous to one’s driving) is picking up hitch-hikers. Of course, you have to be careful, but I’m pretty confident as I’ve been doing this for years. No one can ever be 100% safe (but let’s face it; who is in life anyway?) but I know I can get a pretty accurate feel for it.
Anyway, I’ve found that picking people up makes my journey way more interesting and keeps me alert. I analyze people. Most of them for sure, never tell you the real story about why they are, where they are (i.e., in the truck with you) so I’ve got pretty good at working out my own story for them. Of course, it doesn’t matter if I’m right or wrong; it’s just great that I have the ability to keep my mind alert while driving! As far as I’m concerned, whatever works. And my job pays the bills so I have no complaints.
