    CLC works great, really good rates, the best part is you just walk in, hand them the card and your done.

    My truck has a nice sleeper ... but when the wife was running with me we got rooms every night, we pretty much only stay at holiday express . After hundreds of rooms we only found bed bugs once at a cheap hotel in SC.

    All I know is that I stayed at Holiday Inn in Jonesboro, AR night before last at $63 including tax and Holiday Inn in Joplin, MO last night for $44. Both were very nice places. I am willing to bet that these are easily over $100 per night normal rate.

    Have they changed the team driving rules so the co driver can ride up front and still be off duty

    Yes. But, only for a maximum of 2 hours, immediately before or immediately after 8 hours in the sleeper berth.
