My orientation with Dot Foods included a day when spouses were invited as well as the drivers. The spouses were then given a one-day orientation of their own where they could learn what to expect with their spouse driving for them.

This simple little gesture did more to help my wife than all the explanations I ever could have given her. I guess it's easier for her to take when the company tells her I won't always be home when she thinks I will.
