Zen, I feel like we aren't looking at all the situations here.

As you know, you'll have to do team driving before you get your own truck. With Prime you'll be team driving 6-8 weeks. Now while I think you'll be fine in the drivers seat, what about laying in the bed while the trainer is driving.

I train students right now so I actually have been teaming for 1/2 year now, and I can tell you from experience that you feel those bumps a lot more in that bed. There is nothing there to truly absorb the impact. The only thing I can tell you is to double up on mattress toppers to help you but I'm convinced that you'll have back issues while teaming. It's very rough on your body especially the construction zones.

Just a diffrrent perspective and something else you might not have thought about.

Thanks man!!! Good points here (as usual)
