Trucks often travel with high speed, they have no mercy with their cars, and so you can meet trucks along the tracks with broken somethings – flat tyres or, believe it or not, without a battery to restart it. Sometimes we really wondered how to dare to cross the desert without a proper vehicle. On the other hand these guys can really improvise and we learned how to fix things with nothing.

Transport in the desert is very limited and if a truck sets out for one of this dangerous journeys, a lot of people see the opportunity to get a ride on those vehicles. Distances between places (where you can get water, petrol or any help in general) can be days apart.
