Having moved further into research, I also found out about CRST. Again, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thinking about the trucking lifestyle, team driving with an old friend, both newbies.

So, I recently found out about the trucking career/lifestyle in a bit more depth. I've been working for a Loves Travel Stop Tire Care Center, getting to know truckers and asking questions. It seems both challenging work and enjoyable at the same time. I have been mulling over trucking with a friend for a couple years, and we have decided to make an attempt at team driving. I have done a bit of research and though it seems like Knight has the best training program, CR England has the best opportunity to be trained as a team. I'm just curious if anyone has any advice on the matter. We are both past the stage in friendship where living in extremely close quarters would bother us, and we maneuver well around each other and know where to pick up slack and cover the others weaknesses (disagreements still happen I know, but that's life). I'm currently in the process of saving the money for a sleep test during school, my BMI is large enough to get me tested for sleep apnea, and truthfully I believe I have had it and not been diagnosed for years (heavy snoring, ect). so, trying to cover my bases before I bother to apply and get booted from training for not having the money up front to get the test and machine during my DOT physical.
