Currently I'm driving the production staff for Styx on the Def Leopard, REO & Styx tour. I've been with the crew since 03/31/2008. I arrived in Ft. Myers, FL from Phoenix, AZ to begin this tour. I've driven the guys from Ft. Meyers, Fl to Greeenville, SC; Reading, PA; Atlantic City, NJ; Manchester, NH and now down to Hartford, CT.
Arrived yesterday afternoon at the Holiday Inn Express with the merchandise guy on-board. He didn't travel with the band, (STYX) or the rest of the production crew to Las Vegas for a private show. Drive down from Manchester was a relaxing drive with no stress due to the coach being empty. I always enjoy moving the coach from point A to B while it's empty.
Myself & David, the other driver, he carries the band members got the hotel shuttle driver to drop us off at a Walmart. We both needed to pick up things for the coach and ourselves. Once we finished browsing the store and filling our carts, we called the hotel to be picked up.
It's always a challenge to find areas to store things while on the road. The driver area is very limited, and space is at a premium. I always try to arrange my bay in such a way as to be able to hang up my clothes, place other clothing items in plastic storage bins, as well as maintain tools and other neccessities required while on the road. My bay is "a work in progress".
After a good nights rest, it's time to get out there and clean the coach, inside & out. Noticed an odor coming from the bathroom on the way out yesterday. I'm sure it will be there when I open the coach up since the air, & other power sources were turned off last night.
