    I appreciate all the input from you all. I would hope to get a good trainer so it's worth the time. I think after a while running it like a team would be fine with me. Especially if we both agree. I'm sure we could finish up quicker at that point.

    It's forced teaming is all it is. They get a team running for 3-4 months and hope you like it so you'll keep doing it.
    I just can't be in that small of a space with another person, especially if they stink and/or snore. Plus getting stuck somewhere with no freight and then having to deal with just sitting there staring at each other......bleah
