3 ppl to a truck during training?

When my lady and i went through training at sni we did that. Works out well. One drives one day the other person the next. At night the trainer gets a hotel room and y'all get the truck. Im guesing that you will be teaming with your other half. So you get to share the bunk at night. Hope neither one of you move around alot at night.

 

Yea. Schneider used to do that. You get a hotel room at night. You drive during the day. One difference though. We got the room.

 

3 is nothing ive been in a FL century with 10 guys in it....not going OTR like that but still a 30 min drive to get lunch, 4 guys sitting in the top bunk, 4 sitting on the bottom bunk and 2 in the front seats.

I guess 3 in a truck is ok if your training as husband and wife team

 

Team driving is exactly that. One driver will be taking their 10hr break while the other is driving!

 

sounds like it would be a bit cramped >.<

 

i dont think i would like that

 

It takes some getting used to. You don't become comfortable falling asleep in a moving truck instantly. The pay is potentially a bit better though if you're able to get in 5, 6k miles a week.

 

Two is company, 3 is definately a crowd! No thanks!

 

ok Im just curious about logistics here... first off no way i would do that. two is too many, but are you all driving independently? or is your trainer still doing front seat?I mean he has to sleep sometime and he is supposed to be logged on duty if that's the case and still subject to the 14 hour rule (I know, if hes not driving he can be on duty indefinitely) If your all qualified to drive without a side seat trainer wth is the point of having 3 drivers in one truck?! 2 can run 24/7/365 with good time management. If It's because your company can't get trainers, maybe you should be questioning the quality of the company you're getting into. Just my two cents.
