Yeah... good luck to Flattie....
I remember my team drivers... I had 3 females and 4 males... it didn't matter to me what gender they were... I just wanted to keep running and be done with my mandatory 6 month teaming...
The males I had... first one said his decision to team up with me had nothing to do with sex and that he didn't even feel any physical attraction to me... yeah... right... However, he used to drink constantly, he liked to stay in his underwear... it was summer... I would ignore him... But a few times he got drunk and tried to hug me... I refused him and we ended up splitting...
Second male partner was from Puerto Rico... a rude, violent sob... He never touched me because I kept in touch with company and asked them to send us back to terminal...
Third male was Cuban... not sure why he decided to team with me... After a couple days on the road told me that I wasn't supposed to be driving a big truck because I was a woman... and that I had to "obey" him... He wouldn't let me drive much... And after 2 weeks he told dispatcher to go F himself and quit the company... I dropped him off in front of a rental car agency, he put all his belongings, his refri inside the car and took off... I drove the truck back to terminal... and kept the truck for myself...
Forth and last male partner was Mexican... he was married... Told his wife I was a male... And a couple times we stopped at the truck stop near his place for him to see his wife I would have to hide in the sleeper... We split after a week...
Not saying all males are looking for sex or are controlling or violent towards women... but I noticed a pattern... at first they seem to be all so helpful, and nice and gentle... but if they don't get what they want from the ladies, their attitude changes drastically... they can become rude, nasty, loud, sarcastic, throwing temper tantrums... This opinion is shared by a few other female driver friends I know...
I would agree with Eska who suggested lady partners... However, there are other kind of "problems" with female partners as well... They are more emotional, they stress more easily, and also controlling...
Among the 3 lady drivers I teamed with, only one was a good teaming... We would almost never see each other... I would work my shift and she would be behind the curtain... then, I would wake her up 30 mins before her shift and she would do her shift and I would go behind the curtain... Unfortunately, she left after less then a month, upset with dispatcher...
Teaming is a constant change of partners... at the end I find it a hassle.... not very productive... besides lack of privacy, disruption of personal habits, less room in the truck... Not to say that it's uncomfortable to sleep and do everything else while truck is moving...

But hey.. Good luck to Ms. Flattie... whatever she decides...
