    Thanks Chompi for the heads up,
    Yeah there's a matress for truckers made out of memory foam, i think it's called sleepdog.com (heard about it on roaddog xm radio) and it's supposed to be awesome for about $300.00 I got it on my list. Yeah i'm sure it will take gettin used to but it's all mental strength. I think for most companies in order for me to go team my co-driver must be from the same area or it won't work. I'd really like to roll with someone who lost a co driver, with the experience in team driving like yourself. It will help in terms of helping me become a more efficient driver and will be more confident in major cities. The other thing is hopefully the experienced driver will let me get used to driving straight through at first, don't think i can do 11 hours straight. Probably have to stop twice for java and a sandwich:biggrin_25511:

    We got a memory foam mattress topper over at Wal-Mart for $89. I love it and my husband sleeps a great deal better now.

    I drove team when I first started out, and it didn't take me long to get to the point of either going solo or go to Jail lol
    But then if you get someone you get along with and do your best to sleep while he's driving, and vice verse, then the company could be helpful at the dinner table, or as a spotter.

    You have to be joking me even if u drive at night all the time as a single driver (Which is not going to happen) u are going to have to deal with traffic and also loading and unloading teams can get it done in half the time then a single driver. Yes i make $1000 clear a week not gross. Epic Fail!!! LOL
