Sleeping setup in your pickup.

There is a practical reason for sleeping in the truck. Several hotels don't have parking for RVs and it is not safe to leave the towed unit unattended. Best to park at a rest stop or a truck stop.

 

I've never had a problem finding a motel to park my truck and 40' trailer. There is nothing "practical" in sleeping in the backseat of a pickup. Nothing against the guys that do this it's just not for me. Once again I do not haul rv's I'm the freight hauling business.

 

I’m sorry. Did the truck sleeping thing and it just not did work out. Sleeping in the trailer is now my norm. I do spent 1-3 nights a week in a hotel, but the rest are in the trailer. Even if I get to the delivery dealer mid day I will still find a place to park and spend the night with the trailer and deliver in the morning.

 

two questions

1.why spend the night and deliver in the morning? just wondering
2. who do you drive for that let's you sleep in the trailer? i've been doing this off and on for 12 years
and i've never seen company policy where it says it's o.k. ...

 

1. I gather lastone in means he gets an extra night in comfort at no cost.
2. That's standard policy, but I gather some drivers consider that since they are fully in charge of the trailer between pickup and delivery, they decide where they should be to watch over the unit while they sleep. Now I'm told there is a way to tell if the driver slept in the trailer. Those that pass the test win... big grin
