teaming cant be that bad lol. ive been on the road with my boyfriend for 4 months and i know it will be different with a stranger but i dont think it will be so awful.

 

thats terrible. maybe teaming with a female would be smart....

 

*Nods*

 

There are worse things than dying. You could get all racked up, but live... in a lot of pain. (Just one possible example...)

And not to nitpick spelling (which is to say that I am actually about to nitpick spelling), but how long does a person spend reading the Bible before the word "Christian" becomes ingrained on your psyche? Good thing that spelling errors aren't sinful...

Seriously, religious fatalism is an excuse for not taking responsibility for things, yourself. "God helps those who help themselves." If you die in the truck, chances are that you'll take others out, with you. That's something to worry about, and likely something that Saint Peter or God will want you to answer for, if you let it happen.

 

Why would one go with a company that requires team driving rather then the multitude of companies that do not? I don't get it.

 

Lol that's true but since I'm human and not perfect misspelling happens. Now as for the rest of your comment.. you are right but I'm pretty sure that stuff happens. Anything is possible, especially if you team. I am not afraid to do that. Sure I'm placing my life in that persons hands when they are driving but if I die or get hurt, that's not something I can help because they will be the one driving not me lol

 

Because I'm just trying to get my foot in the door and this company approved my application, so why not? it's not like it's a terrible thing

 

So you always take the first offer that comes around?

What do you think is "not like it's a terrible thing"? Teaming? CRST?

For most people this trucking profession has enough obstacles that they leave trucking within a year. Add teaming on top of that and things become far more difficult. Then CRST.....

 

I guess if you're OK with it that is all that matters. I couldn't do it for the honest reasons of most new drivers I see nowadays are complete irresponsible disrespectful slobs. And you will be stuck in a box with them for at least 70 hours straight. Just my $ .02. best of luck to you
