    True, I'd say you drive in the early morning or at night through any big city.

    I can tell you this, I teamed up with a friend that I had known since I was thirteen. I did this so he could get his foot in the door and become a solo driver. After about 6 weeks, we both had to go our separate ways, and the friendship suffered. Everybody is different and you might like it. However, you gotta be like two peas in a pod. If that makes any sense to ya. Good luck.

    That’s why people that team have to be comfortable around each other and not worry about everything. People talk about privacy, When I was teaming everyone was uncomfortable sleeping or going to bed because it was not normal to sleep in same room. Yes you close curtains but it not the same as being in your own bedroom at home. Sleeping when truck is moving is not easy at first.

    You both have get showers at same time at truck stop. You have wash clothes at truck stop same time. You have to plan thing out a little more.
