    I just saw a video of a trainer truck with 3 bunks I was curious about the bonuses and what the pay etc etc,
    I'm wondering if the pay is good enough to put my rear in the line of training 2 drivers and somehow manage to sleep.

    If you want more pay ditch the mega and go somewhere that actually pays an average wage....

    Seems like the only advantage would be 3 drivers. It could be to full time students driving 1,000 miles a day and the trainer never has to drive to make money. You could do 300-400 a day each driver.

    3 guys in one truck. Guys in prison cells have more room then that probably

    Not much different than the dormitory England puts you in during orientation.

    That's not much room for clothes. Someone must be wearing the same clothes for a couple days. If each driver has a week's clothes that's 3 weeks of clothes in a truck with less cabinets then your standard sleeper.

    I wouldn't want ONE extra person in my truck much less 2... NO thank you, you can have it.

    The best I would ever do is be a mentor. Call me if you have a question...
