    A mere 2 cents will be so depressing -.-

    Keep an eye on the dashboard & such.

    Believe it when I see it.

    It won't be a Western Star and it'll have a 70+ inch sleeper.

    Keeping my options open. Thanks to the great people in the forum I have come to the options on the companies I'm going to apply to as a solo driver.

    However a friend of mine recently had some stuff happen and decided he might want to Team driver, so we're looking to Conway.

    What are there trucks like? Auto or stick, single bunk or double bunk? Are they big enough that you can put a refrigerator in?

    Especially team driving I would like the ability to keep cool stuff, and if possible a two door fridge for frozen stuff.

    One of the few good things about teaming is that you don't have to worry about sleeping uncomfortably due to idle restrictions but you do have to sleep going down the road, which I have never had a problem with.
