Time

• A surefire way to keep yourself entertained when
  you get lonely is to concentrate on your time. By
  keeping close tabs on distances and times, you
  occupy the parts of your mind that seek
  connection and attention. Paying attention to
  time also teaches you about safety on the road
  and how your driving impacts the safety of those
  around you.
• A few things to pay attention to while tracking
  your time are
• Navigation The navigation in your truck should
  give you updates about the traffic and weather
  at your location and destination. By paying
  attention to the nav, you will get critical data
  about faster routes to your destination and a
  clock of how long you have been on the road.
  This could also prevent road rage no one likes
  an angry truck driver!
• Traffic As a driver, the most important thing
  to keep track of time is watching traffic. The
  cars around you and your driving area can
  significantly impact your time. By monitoring
  traffic, you know how long your day will be and
  provide yourself with a goal to work toward.
• Keeping up with time is an excellent way to keep
  your mind focused. However, treating it like a
  game allows you to make rules and create a world
  inside your mind that could allow you to spend
  hours counting and using math that will melt away
  the time like butter in a hot skillet.
• Having a Partner Gives Comfort and Stability
• One of the most amazing things about working with
  Warrior Logistics is having a driving partner. A
• driving partner allows you to work and rest in
  equal amounts. Resting is essential because
  having a clear head is crucial for you and the
  safety of the other drivers. When you are tired,
  you dont think straight, and missing an exit or
  failing to check your mirrors could be disastrous.

• A few ways that working with a partner can cure
  your loneliness are
• Conversation One of the most extraordinary
  things in the history of humankind is good
  conversation. Knowing you have someone you can
  talk to when the job gets lonely is critical for
  success. A conversation will keep your mind
  occupied while your partner helps to navigate or
  vice versa.

• Navigation If you are in the co-pilot seat, a
  good thing to keep your mind on the task is to
  be a navigator. Today with GPS, the directions
  are up to the navigation system, and maintaining
  a map could be old school. However, finding
  things to do along the route to keep you engaged
  and healthy is also valuable.
• A partner on the road is one of the unique ways
  that Warrior Logistics cares about its employees.
  By having a partner, you have someone to hold
  you accountable, which makes you a better driver
  and co-worker. Remember, Warrior Logistics
  thrives off its employees, and having a partner
  only improves your value as a driver.
• Warrior Logistics Concentrates on the Mindset of
  its Employees

• Road Trip Mentality Something that Warrior
  stresses that other companies might not is the
  adventure aspect of trucking. It is a quest on
  the road to glory and not a stressful delivery
  across large parts of the country. The shift in
  mindset from work to adventure can be
  life-changing for some drivers.
• Scheduling Another way Warrior innovates with
  its drivers is by working with them to build a
  schedule that fits their needs and allows them to
