Any double bunk sleepers in the tank world?

Yep. The new trucks are so poorly designed, just as they’re so poorly built. All these college-educated people who’ve spent their lives behind a desk don’t have enough sense to get out from behind their desk, go live in a truck for awhile, and see how they’re really used. They would be better product designers, if they would.

This T680 is no Volvo, in many ways. It has taught me that PACCAR is a huge disappointment, in most every way. I’ve sporadically mentioned the two drivers who park to my right having new 2nd Gens. They both got their trucks back, last weekend. They’re both back at the dealer, again.

 

There are, not nearly as many as in dry freight though. I’ve run one or two loads as a team in the past and we just used a single bunk truck then got hotel rooms if we were laying over. Have a friend who runs team pulling cryo. Out 5 days and back home so they typically never have to lay over. If they do, they get rooms.

I should add that neither I nor my buddy I teamed with carried a ton of stuff anyway. A week’s worth of clothes, shaving kit, and my laptop (later tablet) were all I ever really brought. Had a plug in cooler with some sandwich stuff and drinks and some snacks. Later I put an inverter and microwave in, but I ended up taking the microwave out after like 2 weeks because the lingering stink of cooking something in the truck wasn’t something I wanted to deal with.

 

Near Quebec in Canada.

 

You'll probably have to do them while seated flat on the floor.

But look on the bright side, you might could use the ladder on the trailer for hanging crunches, or doing pull-ups and chin-ups with a close grip.

 

I’ve seen the bunk bed in the mid roof trucks but it’s pretty tight for space.

 

You could get a wider grip with the bar on the back of your sleeper, but I don't know how much weight those can hold. But I do know the ladder is designed to hold the weight of a human being.

 

If you get the right rig you can bring someone along. If you can't go tall go long..Kenworth W900, T600, T660 with the 86" sleeper. Or a Volvo VNL 730 with the midroof 77" sleeper. Nice thing about the KW you can pop the fairing off and on with 8 bolts if you want to go back to a box.
