    My husband just called me from the road today to tell me that his company is offering him a new truck....he's been with them ( brand new driver) just short of 90's. He decided to accept the new truck, which is fine. I like to be prepared so what I need to know is this.....it is a 2014 kenworth T680....what size sheets do I need to buy?? Crazy huh?

    :biggrin_25511::biggrin_25511::biggrin_25511::biggrin_25511::biggrin_25511:Too funny! What a lucky guy, this husband of yours. Someone will be along shortly to provide you with a solution to your quandary, but from me a simple thank you! Cute post! I love this! No significant other here, I'd just throw down the ol' sleeping bag and fall in.

    Buy California king size. They will fit great just wrap them around 2 or 3 times.....

    Maybe try Kenworths website if noone here has an answer?

    He would be just fine with the sleeping bag and a pillow.....BUT two weeks from Friday I will be on the road with him for 10 days and I am not fine with a sleeping bag and a pillow!! :biggrin_25524: I can deal with the small spaces etc, but I must have some kind of luxury from home and good sheets are a must! As well as a toaster and a coffee maker....he can do without those because he doesn't like to stop to pee every ten minutes LOL I an the other hand NEED my coffee and nice sheets !!!

    The mattresses in the KWs are typically 42" wide, which is wider than twin, but narrower than full. I have twin XL sheets on mine and they fit fine, although, I never get in them. I lay on top of the comforter, using what could arguably be the best sleeping bag ever, the Slumberjack. I've been doing that for years, even at home (No-one can hog my covers, then).
