Is This Safe Regarding Your Team Driver?

I think I have found a good team driver that lives very close to my home. The only thing I am really worried about is he is a sleepwalker. Does this sound like a recipe for disaster? I have heard it is very hard to wake up a person that is sleep walking. I think it might be scary if he does this while we are driving. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My wife is a sleep walker mostly dependant her emotional state. I dont think it would be a issue in my opinion. You just have to be calm and not wake up a sleepwalker by yelling or startling them.

Have him use the safety net in the sleeper. That should keep him put, I would think.

That would scare me to no end. Especially if you're night driving. Creepy! Pass!

Joe I am not trucking yet but I do have experience with the sleep walking part. We had a guy in our recon group in the Army that was a big sleep walker, he claims and we agreed that it was the only way he got through Ranger School was this "Special" ability. However his issue was a problem in vehicles, during airborne operations and even almost bit us in the ass when we were on a mission over seas.

I don't know how bad the persons is that your referring to but this guy was EXTREMELY hard to wake up fully, he would act almost totally awake in actions and movements but you could tell no one was a the wheel behind the eyes. If he is hard to wake up it is not something that Id want to have in a vehicle behind me while I was trying to drive. Even strapping him in may not fix it, our guy could keep up on a ruck march, and even unclip himself from the annoying 5point harnesses we had in the MRAPS and try and walk around. If yours is as bad its not a combination for smooth and SAFE situation for yourself being on the receiving end of it.
