Seriously, OOIDA is trying to get fmsca to allow 2 hours out of ten to be spent in the passenger seat, but I don't think it has passed yet. As it stands NOW, your "partner" should be in the sleeper (or OUT of the truck) for the whole 10 hours (or 8/2 - you know what I mean.) Maybe, they know something WE don't???
I don't team with a spouse, but I'd like to someday. But, it sounds to me as if y'all are breaking the rules. Remember: "familiarity breeds contempt."
No two people drive alike. If you're having a problem with each other's driving, you need to "not look!" And, I suspect, the problem exists at HOME as well! You need to talk it out, honestly, and find out where the problem comes from.
I suspect one of you has a "control" issue, and the other has a "perfection" issue. This is a common issue with married couples, and OFTEN leads to divorce.
A truck is a VERY small space. If you can't "allow" the other to be themselves when they are driving, you need to increase your space. If you can't/won't go into the sleeper and find your OWN peace, then you need to learn to create "space" in your own mind.
Remember, driving team as a couple does NOT mean you get to sit in the passenger seat and gripe like you do when on vacation going to DisneyLand! NO one could go to work every day with their spouse standing next to them criticizing everything they do! You have NO right (under fmcsa rules) to be there!
You want to give ME 10 minutes to get over the grumpies??? I'll give YOU 10 minutes to get in the sleeper (where you belong) and OUT OF MY FACE.
That'll be $1,000 please. (I charge more than yoopr)
