Sleeping varies while on a load I usually only sleep a couple hours so I sleep in the front seat but if I don’t have a load I have a mattress in the back that i strap to the inside of the roof when I pickup a load. I don’t have a electric cooler yet bc I started kinda low on cash but my cooler...

Also yea I think it is a good fit I love being able to see the country and meet new people and make money at the same time. Between all the drivers and locals I’ve met since I started I have majorly expanded my social circle and I’m loving it. People are so much better then the news and such...

Nah it ain’t no biggie that’s what the rider policy is for in my contract he doesn’t care. We are on the road so much that they know we like to have company sometimes. They just can’t drive the van.
