The truck is parked...

The company sends a "rescue" driver in a company car or light truck.

The drivers swap vehicles.

BOTH drive to the terminal.

The original driver is STILL driving....just in a smaller vehicle.

Most of the time, the delays are unplanned; Caused by weather, traffic, or repairs.
