    It's okay...my mind didn't go straight to gay sex.

    Though someone mentioned tie downs in the sleeper...then my mind began to wander.

    We are all a perverted bunch I imagine...some a bit more kinky than others.

    I don't see why it wouldn't be legal, though that's probably not going to be his biggest issue. It'll probably be finding willing drivers to do that. These things are sardine cans enough, finding a driver with the experience and willing to do that?

    Give him whatever he wants.

    Varies by state.

    For example,

    the seat belt laws only pertain to people in the front seats in some states.

    Co drivers can log 2 hours off duty in the jump seat...8 hours in the sleeper before being required to log on duty if and when sitting in the passenger seat....for any other duration.

    Before I say anything, what I am about to say comes from a man who has been married for almost 30 years, so it is not meant as a sexist or insulting comment, but rather a 'stating the obvious' about nature.

    2 women in one truck with a male co-driver? Are you insane? It would be tolerable for 3 weeks, but I read that when women live in the same house, their monthly hormonal maintenance cycles gradually begin to align...can you imagine if both experienced bad PMS symptoms every month...the male driver would be tied to the hood (at his request) just for some peace and quiet...

    You make a good point I was merely having a little fun, truth is I could not be in a truck for any real amount of time with anyone male or female . A psychiatrist once told me I had social pathetic tendencies an inability to care for other people. One night of caring for my lady friend in tacoma every few weeks and one night of caring for my lady friend in Boise every few weeks suits me just fine ,the rest of my time I prefer to be alone I think most truck drivers are comfortable with solitude.

    Thats one of the reasons I figured truck driving might suit me. I like to be by myself, not too social.

    Lol, I think as long as everyone is strapped down your good to go, but one of them better be an accomplished mathematician to keep the split sleepers straight. Might also want to make a house rule, No sudden movements in the truck before all three guys crawl outta there, the slightest whipping of the antenas could draw a lot of unwanted attention!
