    Oh yes, i have my dog with me she gets vacuumed every morning and gets booties put on her feet to go outside and play then taken off to be put back in trk. When i trade my truck in i get top dollar for trade. Even though it will have a million or so mi on it. It' still looks like a new trk inside and out and the carpet even still looks new. Think about all the stuff you step in over the course of a day that gets on your shoes then you get in your trk with who knows what on your shoes then you get it on your feet then in your bed. Disgusting. No thanks.

    Depends on what she looks like. I dated a Playboy Bunny from the old Lake Geneva Playboy club for a couple of years and it wasn't too confining.

    Thats why you take off your shoes in the cab and never walk in the sleeper with them. Problem solved.

    Team driving is how the extreme bottom end companies operate. Put two drivers in a truck, and make them split solo driver money.

    The only other living thing I want in my truck is My dog. Hey Dog, Im gonna go in in take a shower, dog says hey thats great, Ill be here when you get back and keep your seat warm. Hey Dog, I've got really bad gas today sorry bud, Dog says, Hey thats cool me too, I love you can I lick your face now? Hey Dog, I don't really want to talk today, Dog says hey thats cool, I will just be over here licking the window if you need me. Hey Dog, I am kinda down today, Dog says you are awesome, almost God like, Can I lick your face? He cant back the trailer for crap though.

    Team driving is for 2 ppl that are compatible and really get along.I did the otr thing solo for 9 yrs.I have a boyfriend now and been together 2 yrs we never fight so if I was to go back otr it would be with him.But you also have to consider the pay in teaming sucks if its going in 2 separate accounts.Many companies pay what a solo makes.Werner for example,their team pay is 34 cpm split,which is 17 cents per mlle.How many can live on that.CRST is a team operation company and they'll team you up.How many would like teaming with a stranger?Alot of give and take in teaming.Ray and I are so much a lile,we have the same driving pattern and I wouldn't have any problems ,no doubt in my mind he'd the the perfect one to team with.

    I have not been by that place in a few years, but boy is it getting run down, looks spooky nowadays, they had a good recording studio in that place also, know a rock band that produced an album there....
