Team Driving Nightmares
Topic 29811 | Page 1
Keep an eye on those dreams. If these start to get out of hand, talk with somebody with a title.
The only two bad ones I had were I was actually back team driving, and in the other one, I was driving a day cab!
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Oh, the horror! Not enough space for all your stuff in one of them
A few of my students have mentioned having truck related nightmares while training.
My recurring nightmare always involves my truck rolling backwards down a slight incline and no matter how hard I step on the break it refuses to stop🤷♂️

Yeah, having the truck roll on your break with no brakes would be terrible!

It's called foreshadowing 
I have had dreams that usually involve me being involved in some sort of accident from minor ones to major ones.

OWI:
Operating While Intoxicated
This morning I was sleeping in the top bunk (We were shut down) and I swear the truck was rolling forward. In a panic I leapt out of the top bunk making my partner **** himself and I got in the driver seat. Luckily I was just being a bonehead and the truck wasn't actually moving.
Team driving itself IS the nightmare for me...lol.

I will ferry the freight on my back before that happens!

For the last few months I've been in the truck w/my trainer sleeping while he drives and vice versa. I completely trust him to drive and he had deemed me competent enough to drive on my own 99% of the time (the construction leading into the drop yard in TX is kind hairy). This had led to an unexpected side effect. Literal nightmares any time I try to sleep when not rolling. So far 3 have woken me up. Near tuna canning the trailer then backing into another trailer while parking. Rolling the rig while creeping through rough construction. Running off the highway to avoid a high speed crash. I don't normally remember dreams and just wanted to let others know if they experience the same, they are not alone.
