    Unfortunately we hardly evet see wold wild teams on our run. Pensacola is so small. The ones I talked to seem happy. They still get 2 full days off a week. From what I understand they send most wedt coast to Dallas and send it westfrom there. Dallas has 30 or more teams that take it on to meet other drivers. Ifyou see a team otr ask them on CB. Thats what we did before coming here

    I will if I happen to run into any. I also have talked to recruiting. I will ask them in the near future. I still have a few to go before things line up for me and my wife. I like your motto "teaming for retirement" All the best to you and your wife.

    Are all R&L trucks now automatic? Or would I have to road test in a standard. I'm really really rusty on shifting.

    Not all but most are now. I'm sure you can ask them to road test in an automatic. We have drivers that can only drive automatics.

    We thought we'd kill each other also! Wr have learned to get along and give each other space by keeping curtains closed while other is driving

    Yes we try to give each other some space. Pulling the curtain hard just doesn't have the same dramatic effect as slamming the door when are not happy with each other.
