    I've recently started driving. After I've been at it for 6 months my wife is going to join me as a seat warmer. We are best friends and we are both looking forward to it. She will be a great help with cooking, paperwork, cleaning, etc. But it would be even better if there was a way for her to earn money.

    Has anyone come across a way she could make money as a rider? Maybe from the laptop or phone, etc. There has to be something she could do with all that spare time.

    No, she won't co-drive. So team driving is out of the question. She's scared to death of driving a rig.

    Any ideas?

    After six days she will get bored being on the truck with nothing to do except clean and cook. Buy some software so she can learn a skill like MS Office and then maybe she can get a job working in an office with a real paycheck.

    Day trading in the stock market.
    Start out small, like $500.00 to open an account.

    Etrade
    Scottrade
    Charles Schwab
    Ameritrade

    Takes a lot of study and time. Some software will automatically do trades for you.
    My wife started out with Scottrade, but said it didn't move fast enough so now she's with some Asian outfit trading on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchange. She makes a little money every week. Two years ago she make $10K one week and last week she made $20K. Have to really be dedicated to make it work. My wife is good with mathmatics and very detailed concerning numbers. Do some research online if interested.

    I wondered how long it would take. Not long apparently.

    Clicked this thread with high expectations, 1st reply didn't disappoint.

    There is not really much a passenger can do besides chores. Unless said person had experience I wouldn't even want them "navigating".
