Thanks for the update now that you're out there. The sleep issues are my number one concern about the teaming idea for me. That and my wife's driving abilities. It doesn't look like we're going to team ourselves at this point.
Can you link to that headset product? I always wanted something like that when my wife spotted for me.
Two weeks on our own so far, husband and wife team.

This one rode pretty good. I didn't have to sleep in it while moving though.

With my mindset, I've always said (to myself) if you're tired and I mean tired, you can sleep anywhere ! I would suggest catching a nap when at the shipper/consignee. You both don't need to handle the duties, just 1 of you. Even fueling. An exception might be a flatbed load. I've said this many times, a really well oiled team can actually park the truck for 4 hours nightly and catch 4 hrs with the truck not beating down the highway. Or 1 can shower while the other is fueling. (works good at 3 am) Since you're married, you already know each other well and each other's personalities, right ? 10 yrs from now, you'll each laugh when telling truck driver stories to your grand kids ! Now get out there, you've got 1000 mi to cover today !
