    Millions of us have shared a truck with a trainer for 4-6 weeks. It's not the end of the world. Suck it up and get it over with.

    Superior carriers is great for that. No sleeping in the truck during training. Your own hotel room when on the road

    You’re a little more than a foot away, and you got your own cot.
    Yes, Cot, top bunk mattress was never much more than a piece of foam, unless that’s changed lately.
    But, it’s not like your sleeping in the same bed, you might have to sleep head to toe, though if it gets cold, no idling in certain places no matter how cold.

    Check out Schneider. I didn’t go with them, but it was explained to me that they did the first couple of weeks training local, and then the final week OTR. If that holds true still and at all their terminals, it would minimize time with trainer snoring and farting below you, or worse.

    When I was in training with Schneider, it was 2 or 3 weeks (I can't remember right, probably 2 weeks) of classroom in West Memphis AR, then 1 week with trainer OTR.

    That sounds about right. When I was talking to the recruiter, she mentioned similar and was talking about the way they did it in Phoenix.

    Something like this would work for a person that wants minimal bunk time with a trainer.
