If you're on a wide open interstate for miles and miles, in the same lane with cruise control on, I could possibly understand blocking your side...
As a company driver, the option to run 70-75mph would be a heavily utilized blessing. As an owner operator, I wouldn't make a habit of it. I find...
I doubt it. If the story is true, which I doubt even more, the author stated that she initially drove solo for the same company. CRST is a team...

I used to consider carrying my nine but the laws in my state are such that it cannot be loaded or within reach in the passenger seat. Now I carry...
If you ever have a co driver like that it's entirely your fault. I can understand the privacy thing, but to say that you wouldn't team because...

I think you missed the point I was actually making. When two new drivers team, it's really nothing like an apprenticeship. "Training" implies...
