    Get out there quickly before it falls off into the Ocean.

    As to what truck driving job to see the west from, you need to remember that you will be driving on Interstates most of the time. You really don't see much of the country while the truck is moving. Being a team, you will want to drive 24 hours a day. Those half hour safety breaks are wasted on teams. Of course, you can take your 34 hours together, which is really 24 and spend that day sight seeing. All trucking companies want husband and wife teams. Don't drive for any of them that don't pay you top dollar.

    I checked with shaffer... It all sounded good... except California, but not many other western states... the view from the truck would be fine, just want to be out and all around the west for a while

    Keep in mind most companies will prefer you use your recap hours instead of sitting to do a 34 hour reset.

    Might have to haul produce for awhile, even though that's not the most desirable.

    If I were running team I would want a Volvo to drive as they are quiet and have a nice ride. I would like a Volvo anytime but most of the companies that run Volvos save them for their teams.
