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.
