    Teaming can allow you to work out the bugs before going out there on your ownm If you're doing something wrong, you have a co-driver to help you and visca versa

    The scary thing would be knowing both of you are brand new drivers and sleeping while not knowing the driving capabilities of the other driver.

    When I started out a hundred yrs ago,it wasnt weeks but hrs you had to drive team.so if you can get a job where its the amount of hrs,put her to the wind and you'll have your own truck before you know it.
