On a day to day basis the Sting crew navigates throughout the country by either bus or truck. The truck and bus drivers travel thousands of miles within the given tour period. A typical day would be something like this:
1:00 AM- Drivers Arrive to Venue
2:00-4:00 AM- Trucks are loaded with gear
4:30AM- Trucks depart for the next city/ venue
( Depending on how long the run is, the drivers arrive, drop their trailers, and head to their hotels. Typically drivers aren't seen very much unless it is very late at night or if we have a long drive during the day. 6:00AM- 3:00PM drivers sleep and prepare for their next drive.On drives longer than 8 hrs we have a co-driver that helps take some of the pressure off getting to the next city on time.
We have 7 trucks and 4 crew bus's. My bus is #3. The bus's are considered everyone's "home." Throughout the day when the crew's responsibilities are met, you can find them relaxing and getting out of the heat until show time. I share my bus with 8 other guys, primarily my bus holds the video crew. We also have merchandise and some of the crew chiefs on tour.
