I have no help for you........a new driver should never drive team until he knows he can do it.
-
It takes a while to adjust but eventually you do get Some sleep. Take a couple of gravol as it makes ya drowsy.
-
Dramimin(sp?) Motion sickness pills.
-
What is gravol and is dramimin also a sleep aid? And thanks for your replies
-
Gravol is used for nausea.

TruckDuo runs teams and posts on here that he takes Melatonin tablets and sleeps good and wakes refreshed.
He buys his at GNC stores, but it's also at Walmart. Google for more info and how it helps sleep.hal380 Thanks this. -
Also my first lead driver I had was a horrible lead driver my first day with him he had me stay up all day in jump seat with him and then drive all night zero sleep my third day on the road he had me go straight through Philadelphia on my own with him in the sleeper never once did a pre trip and I was never explained the measurements on tandom axels there being my second day on the road I got a ticket going through a weigh station for my tandom axels being wrong that being said how many CSA points is that how do I find out about the ticket and how do I avoid another lead like this

Melatonin .....sounds like something you order at a Italian restraint.
