    No, get a folding bicycle and use it for excercise or visiting shopping malls or movies.
    Get one that fits in the sleeper because they really get messed up on the catwalk, no matter how good you cover them. Get a good heavy duty chain or cable lock to use when at the mall or wherever.

    Point to said hole when challenged by DOT officer when he asks you about your supposed 10/34 consecutive hours in the sleeper. See if he still wants to do a level 1.

    I did not mean as sit in it the entire time I was more or less talking about leaving it at the truckstop/parking spot for several hours to go to places other than the truck stop

    I had a reset in Utah once. They were having their state fair and I had a blast.

    Another time I visited a buddy down in Texas.

    Do anything but just sit in the truck.
