    Talked to a few drivers at the company I just started for. Sounds like there will be abundant down time. That is not a deal breaker for me.

    Anyone have an electric bike they bring with on their truck? Is it a bad idea for any reason? If you do bring one with you, where do you store it? Some electric scooters are surprisingly small, I already know that I can store one of those under the bed. Not sure about a bike.

    Well it sounds like I’m not going to have any trouble doing 34 hour resets. What do you when you’re sitting Friday to Monday mornings?

    I was thinking it would fit under the sleeper. Glad to hear I’m not the first one to think of this!

    I’m definitely waiting until I have my own truck. Just wanted to start shopping around, and make sure it’s even feasible .

    If you have a double bunk, can store it on the top bunk.
    Otherwise, anywhere in the sleeper compartment.

    I mean you can, but once you get out there and driving you will be so tired that you just want to sleep as much as you can.

    I never had one with me, but I had my wife with me so I found other methods of entertainment.

    This unicycle can run 68 mph. Probably the one you need.
