Some are better than me. I'm just happy we have made it 15 years w/o major problems. Of course, that is probably due to the fact I'm not home.

I've done both solo and team, team now, but going back to solo. I have no problem sleeping in a moving truck, but:

1: I can't turn my music up loud while he sleeps
2: Every codriver I've ever had talks my ear off when I want peace and quiet
3: I end up getting woke up because he's lost and needs my help
4: Some codrivers want to get out and "help" service the truck during fuel stops. Fact is, they're in my way.
5: The truck sleeper is small enough. Put a second guy in here with his stuff, and it becomes cramped.

i`ve got a few reasons for not wanting to run team.

1. I can talk to anybody, stranger best friend crackhead it doesn`t matter, but I can`t stand being around the same person 24/7

2. the money I make running by myself is more then enough for my bills and to save a nice chunk in the bank every month.

3.I own my truck and i`m the only person I trust behind the wheel of it, hell I do all my own maintenance but I was out for the last 10 weeks runnin hard and had to stop off for two oil changes and me and a mechanic at a TA almost got into cause i wanted to drive it into the bay and he insisted I couldn`t :lol:

4. when there was still a slight chance I would even consider running team I was driving for somebody else, my rig broke down in chattanooga on the way to florida so he sent another driver out to pickup me and the load and get back home, after driving 7 hours and being awake for 20 afterwards waiting on the driver to get to me I was beat by the time I climbed in his rig, 30 minutes after passing out i`m thrown out of bed to find an acura under the bumper of his once beautiful w900...


i`ll never ever run team now
