    I have thought about driving and the only way would be for my wife to travel all the time. She is a small filipina and has no desire to ever drive.

    We enjoy our time together so team would not work for us at all.

    Just give it a try !

    Good points, usually most women don't go for it, but like you say, it gives them a better idea of what you do. Hey, I see you are part of the Forum Staff, is that new? If so, congrats.:smt023

    My wife will pee in the truck if she has to so extra stops for that isn't really an issue but the dog needs to go out altho he's a veteran trucker and can hold it pretty well if need be. He's been at it since he was 4 months old. If anything he sees to it I take that mandatory 30 minute break. lol. We aren't usually under the gun tho so making an extra stop or 2 is no big deal and I don't mind the stretch.
    Here's the boss taking his turn at the wheel.

    Now the next issue becomes finding a company that has APU's and inverters and maybe even a fridge if we get really lucky. Was considering goig back to Knight, but they have none if the above.
