    I was talking to Covenant and they said they would put me and my team partner together during training with one trainer. It seems like a great idea for us to be in the same truck with a trainer, but what would the downsides be? One of us would have to be in the sleeper, the other in the driver's seat and the other in the passenger's seat. How would that all work out?

    Man I.don't envy you... I would never team because I don't think the truck is big enough for two full.grown adults let alone three

    Yes they are... they should of course be laying in the bunk and restrained with the belts / cargo net provided for that purpose.

    Being someone that actually likes teaming, I would never get in truck with two other people.

    Hmm, it can't be that bad though, I hope? I would probably be the only female if we had a male trainer. I suppose Covenant does this sort of thing all the time?

    During schooling I can see an advantage to training with more than one in the truck. Many of us can learn a lot by observing what another student is doing. On the road though, you all sleep in the same truck and spend 24/7 in there? That's just silly.

    Yeah, that's what seems kind of weird about it. Unless they rent a motel or something.
