Operate as a team with a permit???

If he only had a permit WERNER had drop the ball big time. To drive the one with CDL has to be in the jump seat with him or it like driving with out a permit

Back in 2008 I was out in New Mexico deathly sick, a friend of mine flew out to drive back to Georgia. He had a CDL but only could drive Bus or a 10wheeler but had a learners permit for combination. So sick all the fuel desk I had to wobble into to pay for fuel wanted to call 911 I had to stay in the jump seat

 

Not really, The newbie had to have the other in the jumpseat but run off his own log. The CDL owner needed to have logged onduty not driving

 

I would assume it is the same no matter what they have - permit or cdl, HOS is HOS.

BUT the word team seems to mean that one driver is driving while the other is resting. So I wonder how the insurance company feels about this, this is a big liability problem for them if something happens when the permit holder is driving and the cdl holder is sleeping and not in the front seat observing the permit holder. Can you imagine how this would make a lawyer's day great, a big company who allowed a permit holder to be a driver in charge of a truck under load while the trainer is sleeping? WOW the money that could be made.

 

you present a good point, i would like to know about this too

 

that's nothing really to be proud about, just saying...
