On the road training question

Lol new guy Copy/ paste my comment? it don't apply here lol whatever....

Well, my trainer was a lil weird about the lower bunk (from India) Nice guy. But I was NOT allowed on his bunk while he drove. I know it was against company policy, he was a new lease op. But it was, what it was. I figured I am only on his truck 3-4 weeks tops, and he drove fine, so I wasn't worried much.

Was few times, I had to grab the handle on the closet up top, but nothing bad. That thin pad wasn't too comfy, but I adapt to things easy enough. And I SURVIVED lol.......Me and my last co-driver just switched out our pillows, and sleeping bags etc. I did sleep on bottom when we were shut down, had https://www.acesetm.win/ added a 4 inch memory foam pad on top of mattress, so that helped a LOT

Teams share the bottom bunk. In a training situation have a sleeping bag and your own pillow.

At CFI we don't team train. Trucks are dispatched as a solo truck. The student does the work. The trainer is in the right seat. You sleep at the same time.

Having kept your US drivers license current will also matter, since you have to had it active at least 1 year. Then proving where you were abroad, get letters from 2 people attesting to your past. Just in case I needed em, 2+ years back I had 2 people who've known me 20 & 50+ years write them, but didn't need them ( I was unemployed & self-employed a bunch years )

Good luck , just apply everywhere, and see if they bite.
