    Snoring can be dealt with by using ear plugs and getting the person who snores to sleep on their side or stomach. I'd rater deal with snoring than somebody who farts.

    You think that's bad?
    My dog sleeps with me and we both snore.
    I've had women running out of the house screaming: "No!"

    If you were to ride with me, it wouldn't be a huge problem. I'd just make sure to go to bed 10 minutes before you. Once I am asleep it wouldn't matter. I wouldn't hear you. I snore some. And have had the spectrum, from the guy who cried he was exhausted because he couldn't get a wink because of my snoring to guys who said they never noticed at all. Most guys say "yeah,ayou do a little, but it don't bother me". I have a foam wedge under my mattress that elevates my head. My snoring is almost gone with that. Perhaps it is something you could try. Muçh more comfy than a CPAP. It worked so well we bought one of them beds you can elevate for at home. Made my wife's snoring stop too.

    You will be driving while the trainer is sleeping. Get one of those anti snore deals you can get on amazon for when its your turn in the bunk.

    Actually no, that's not how Millis does it. The student and the trainer are solo dispatched. The trainer is in the passenger seat and on duty whenever the vehicle is moving.

    I'm the one that does the snoring, not my roommate. I've found that sleeping on my side results in less snoring. I've got an app, I plan to use to measure this for the next couple weeks. I would rather a trainer not decide that sleeping in the truck with me is a bad thing.

    Should have applied to a Reefer job. Would be competing with it for noisiest.
    Seriously.... Many truck driver don't mind noise. I got used to it and actually prefer it. Trucks idling, Reefer. Can include snoring now.
