    My girl has literally been begging to come on the road with me. Ima have a short 4 day work week so this seems like a good chance to bring her. I really am reluctant doing so because this job isn't super fun and I'm expecting her to be extremely bored, having to use the bathroom and ask a million questions. Example " do all of the truck stops only have subway?"

    Take her with you. My wife rode with me and enjoyed it. She didn't go on every run, but did on the long cross country runs.

    My wife travels with me and is the official "Dog & Husband Wrangler. "
    She takes photos and post them on Facebook. Which people seem to enjoy.
    We are both chubby people and sleep head to toe.

    Just hand her the CB mic. 90% of truckers that can hear her will be putting their foot in their mouth to talk to her. With a good amount of lewd comments...

    Just a plan B. :D

    Take her with you. Your 10 off will be much more enjoyable. Hire her as your secretary. She can deal with the qualcomm messages and a second set of eyes for finding where ever or to see if there is a idiot 4 wheeler parked in your blind spot.

    How about introducing her to the actual driving part of it. Who knows? She might catch the bug and you'll end up working FOR her.
     
    D.Tibbitt and DAX_ Thank this.

    Take her.
    Show her how to trip plan, do pre trip inspections, etc..

    Make a game out of guessing what a 4 wheeler would do.

    Report back what town you end up dropping her off at.. asking for a friend
