Drywall ceiling installation ?

[38 Dodge Coupe]

I am looking for some feedback. I have read through previous posts on installation of drywall on a ceiling and the general consensus seems to be that you install the drywall perpendicular to the trusses and stagger the joints.

I have installed the first row of 4 x 8 drywall in my 32x30 detached garage and am ready to install the next row. If I understand it correctly, I should stagger the **** joints on the second row so that the end piece of drywall lands in the middle of each of the first row and then continue the pattern .

Is that the best (right) way to do this?

Thanks- that's what I thought, but I just needed to be sure!

Truth us most hangers put up strapping perpendicular to joists 16" on center. Just did my garage ceiling 2 weeks ago.
