A coworker and I have agreed to carpool. Now what do we do?
Before starting on any carpooling arrangement, it’s a good idea to meet over coffee or lunch to iron out details. Some of the ground you should cover:
-Arrangements for pick-ups and drop-offs
-Consider establishing a trial period of a week or 2 to give it a try and determine if you’re suited to carpool together, if adjustments need to be made, or if you need to find a different carpool partner
-Duties of the driver, such as filling up the gas tank before picking up riders
-How often you’ll carpool
-Whether smoking is allowed
-Who drives, and when
-Any other questions or concerns you may have
