    Are there any companies left that allow a spouse to ride along with a solo driver that still have double bunk trucks? The head to feet bs in mid roof trucks isn't working out.

    Almost every OTR company has a Condo Sleeper. They try to give you as much room as possible since you ll be on the road a lot and if you decide you want to take a passenger

    Fleet owner? Her issue is arthritis in her knees and when it flares up just the slight pressure when sleeping on her side is miserable. Sleeping on her back is the only relief and not enough room for that sharing a truck mattress.

    Get a wife like mine and you don't need to worry about it. One trip From Omaha to Chicago and that was the end of it! I can't even get her to do a short trip to KC with me now. Oh darn.... 😅
