The question of whether several people can drive one load is very common. You probably want to buy one truck and start a family or friendly business. But is it possible? Let's figure it out.
Quite often, such a decision is due to the desire to earn more money and distribute the load among several people. This is some variant of team truck driving. The main condition here is that all members of the āteamā have a driving license. Under this condition, they can take turns driving a truck or semi-trailer.
There are really more benefits here - more money, the opportunity to travel more, as well as pleasant company on the trip. However, do not forget that the registration device records the time traveled not by each of the drivers but not by each driver individually. So you still have to make stops according to the schedule.
If you are guided by the atmosphere while driving and pleasant conversations, then pay attention to the choice of a driving partner. If it's just your friend or colleague, then think about it many times. Trips can be long, and your driving style and behavior on the road may vary.
