Many truckers out there prefer to drive their rig alone, but others enjoy having a friend or their spouse to be on the road with.
The idea behind team truck drivers is to get deliveries made faster.
They truck is able to go further in a 24 hour period because you have two drivers that can drive.
They can each drive all of their hours of service and then switch or drive in timed shifts.
Most team truck drivers decide to drive in full shifts so that the other person can get sufficient rest.
Basically the team will stop at regular intervals so each can eat, shower, and use the bathroom.
Each person that makes up the team has to keep their own log book of their hours of service, both on duty and off duty.
This is one of the few times when it is acceptable to have more than one log book in a semi truck.
Generally this practice is banned so that truck drivers cant be accused of running with more than one set of books in order to manipulate the hours of service regulations.

If you would rather not purchase a bin for your compost pile, you should still devise a way to contain it.
You can easily and inexpensively build your own bin.
This will give you more control over the size of the pile and can prevent unwelcome animals helping themselves to some free food.
If you are using recycled lumber and it has been treated (either painted or stained) make sure it has been done using non-toxic material.
You do not want anything toxic or poisonous to come in contact with your compost, especially if you are going to be using it where you are growing food.
You will need four 4-foot sections of 2X4 and 20 3-foot sections of 1X6 boards.
Begin by hammering the 2X4 lumber pieces into the ground with a sledgehammer at the corners of what will become a 3 feet squared container (space each corner post 3 feet apart).
Next, put five boards to every side securing each end of the board to the corner post with nails.
