    Been asked on here before numerous times, but maybe you should take a look at the inside of one before you even consider it. Felt like a prison cell in there with just myself. Gonna assume most decent companies would tell you #### no. Find a local job

    You can bring a spouse with you, but that's it. Only 1 rider is usually allowed since there is only 1 other seatbelt in the truck. And usually children have to be at least 12 years old to ride with you. So no, it's safe to say that would not be OK.

    And to be honest, even if you could bring the family, you'll HATE them all after spending every waking second confined in a 7x7 space with them. F that noise!

    Crete carrier allows children 5 and up. Have to be accompanied by another adult.

    I don't know if they would take 2 kids though plus the wife.

    Driver, wife and three children just pulled in next to me at the FJ in Amarillo. He's an O/O with a Volvo, double bunk. They all looked like they were having fun (the passengers anyway).

    Go figure.
