Hopefully I'll be out by the time it gets approved.
Only if delivering in Manhattan....
Guy I worked with had a 320" W 900, it was tight inside the buildings in the mill. The bunk is too big on that truck. I know Kevin @twostick will disagree but 36" is the biggest bunk you need. I would not agree with this either in my other OTR lifetime.
Wrong Commando, He haz 6 lot lizeredz in that rig, and Bobtails from truck stop to truck stop. AND THEY ALL GET AH SHOWER EVERY AFTERNOON BEFORE THE $ STARTZ ROLLIN' IN AND AH SNACK SOMETIME AFTER MIDNIGHT
I just grab the pillow off the bunk and prop it up in the corner. Sleeping on the steering wheel will scare the Beegesus out of you when you wake up. I'm surprised I did not blow a brake diaphragm from pushing so hard on the foot valve, trying to stop a parked truck. Now that I'm older it would probably give me a heart attack.
X2.
Maybe not to you, but to us.........X2.
Once I was in a Cracker Box and fell asleep over the steering wheel.
Another one of our drivers, turned off the engine to his COE, quietly rolled up to me nose-to-nose and hung on the air horn.
Wasn't funny.
That happened when I was a "rookie" with the company and one of the senior drivers thought I needed a workplace edumacation.Maybe not to you, but to us.........
That's EXACTLY what it was.
That was one of funniest pranks we ever pulled. Had a driver we worked with, called himself Sinbad on the radio. We all called him Sandman, he couldn't get past the first rest area when we would head out at night on our linehauls. There were a couple of us, Sandman included, leaving Orlando headed south. He was out before the rest of us, we were all headed to Miami, i-4 to 27. He was already asleep over the wheel in the rest area just outside Orlando. We all hit the shoulder and one of the guys (Mike) dropped his trailer, backed up into the rest area, turned around and nosed up to Sandman's (Danny's) truck. Mike laid on the horns, flashing his high beams. Danny bailed out the drivers door, falling into the grass. We were rolling on the ground laughing. Danny chased Mike all over that rest area till he couldn't run any more. That was a long time (40 years) ago. That kind of fun in trucking is long gone.X2.

You know something? You're right...
No that's painful!
Then there's no fun out there anymore then, is there.
Not really, couple funny moments now and again, but the thrill is gone.
