    Me too. A girl I know took her boyfriend on the road with her for a month. He had no job, no money, and ate like a horse. Not to mention she had to stop every 2 seconds for him to go this that and the other. She ended always being late for loads and didn't have any money to support them both on top of that so she ended up droppong him off at his home and never let him back on her truck.

    LOL! Hard lesson learned huh?

    I have my routine as when i sleep and what i do when stopped for a break.
    Something quick in the microwave,a little TV and off to sleep.
    A passenger would mess up my routine!

    Took a cousin along once.
    All he did was sleep and sleep.
