    ok. ive already asked some good ones on here and received some heat for it. but oh well, im not scared to admit my ignorance.

    how long are you allowed to drive? meaning can you drive until you just cant or do you have to stop every 8 hours?

    are you allowed to bring a tv with you in the sleeper? or do they have one already?

    can you have a pet along the ride?

    if i wanted to go on a trip with one of you, could i? im not asking to go with one of you now, just if the time comes and i want to do it to make sure i would like trucking before i just jump in.

    here is a question that will get a lot of crap, but again i am ignorant. what is air ride? i see it on trucks, 'air ride equipped'. no idea what that is.

    are all trucks speed governed? i see some going slow, and some speeding. but i read on here somewhere about governed trucks. just curious.

    ok. thats all i can think of now. thanks.

    I'm 27. To American trucker, I've been told you work for Watkins and Shepard. I've been doing research and am considering trucking. Anyway, Watkins site doesn't say anything about starting pay. What is it? And I know the more u drive the more u make. I tried to pm u earlier and it wouldn't let me. I'm full of dumb and serious questions.
