    I have thought about Armellini. I live in Miami. I just don't know if I can sleep in a truck with someone I don't know or trust driving. And unloading too? Yuccck.

    Yeah, it has it's share of challenges, if you've never run team than it may not be for you. I did it for years and had alot of fun. Did it also as a trainer w/MS Carriers for a year and that's as tough as it gets. Sleepin behind new students. It's a challenge, but what isn't! Home every 2-3 days on my route vs. solo stay out a whole month. There's something for us all- Tell my 2 girls, see you in a month- Daddy doesn't like to break a sweat, so instead of being home 2-3 days a week i'll see you 2 or maybe 3 times during summer break. Prioritize my priorities- that's my job!

    Yeah, I hear ya. But you can't see your kids every 4 days if some tailgating arse kills you while you sleep. I might consider it if I found a reliable team partner. Good luck and keep us posted.

    I hear your side. If i hadn't done it in the past I might be apprehensive, but I'm one that believes what's meant to be will be. There are those that make decisions based on their own actual experience and those that make decisions based on the experience of others. As long as we all do what our heart and mind tells us is right, we'll all be ok, that is if you PRAY!!!!!!! Be Safe

    Of course they will, its miami! That city is populated with more illegals than citizens! A truck driver down there would jump at 33 cent a mile because he used to only make .10 a mile in his former country
