    I think they are a team driving 3 then swapping drivers for 3 then driving for 3 and so on.

    You have your co driver get out and stop all traffic and then you make a real wide left hand circle in the middle of the intersection.

    If you don't like the rules or they don't fit you, get a different job. Driving is not for everyone.

    Yes, thatis correct. Not legal, but works much better on our bodies.
    And I am not sheep to go blind with the rules only because they are The Rules...think little bit, do not sleep...

    In 24 hours

    Drive a drives 3 range of150 miles
    Driver a goes sleeper for 3
    While
    Driver b drives 3 range of 150
    Driver b goes sleeper for 3

    This math is getting complicated. Someone want to finish.

    At any rate I think in any 24 hour period both drives will only cover roughly 300 miles each. 600ish miles in 24 hrs.

    Essentially they'll both be sleeping for a ten at the same time.

    If it's not legal, my first suggestion would be don't do it.
