[QUOTE="NH Guy, post: 12368883, member: 342346"]It depends on the company, some are solo only(trainer always in passenger seat) in training. Alot of companies they run solo for a week or two, then they decide at some point you are going to be running more as a team. This is after you tested and have your CDL. Permit drivers always need the trainer riding shotgun. For the shower etc lifestyle questions, that will largely depend on you and the trainer to work out an understanding, definitely don't be afraid to speak up if its been a few days since a shower or you need the restroom. If you do team at all definitely have a system with the trainer for when he is driving and stops to go into a truckstop, you dont want to crawl out of the sleeper to use the restroom and get left behind at the truckstop because he didnt know you woke up and left the truck, it happens.[/QUOTE]
