    The company surely pays more but it's not that much to switch from your space and privacy to sharing it with another one. I heard people hate it, so it's your call but I say it's better to earn X money with little to no stres.
     
    nextgentrucker Thanks this.

    I'll add something else. Some people can't make decisions. How to plan a trip etc. So they feel more confortable with a co- pilot who can make decisions. Where to fuel, how to back up, what time to drive thru Dallas, etc etc etc.
