    One "pro" towards running team as a new driver.

    If the co-driver is awake they can get out and help direct you with a difficult backing situation.

    Just keep in mind that's running a dedicated with guaranteed miles. You may not get that opportunity everywhere.

    Must pay great.
    Keep in mind the difference between truck driver boots and cowboy boots.
    On cowboys boots the bullcrap is usually on the outside :D
