    Passenger can ride off duty for the first 2 hours of your shift before going on duty

    It works like hell. Thats exactly how it works. Also, i have been teaming for 3 months, and right now have been solo for a month.

    I am making more money solo than i did teaming. Dont let the recruiters lie to you.

    Go solo, be happy.

    Did you read the thread? He is asking about training someone to drive a second truck that he is buying. He is solo in a hotshot truck. He is just looking to train a guy for a week or so.

    Your math is a bit off.
    If you go on duty at 0700 the 14 would be over at 2100 - not 2300.

    You are right! I changed it on one sentence but forgot to change it on the other. Thanks for catching that! I will edit it when I get a chance if I can!
