I have a CDL & have driven a lot of different types of trucks from a straight truck to a semi. I am 55 & I don't have the greatest back, so two of my biggest concerns with hotshoting is sleeping in the back of a pickup & tarping. Would a guy be able to re-coup his cost if he added a conestoga to his gooseneck? I know you might gain a few loads, but you would definitely lose some tall ones for sure. I have seen a few on the road, but very few.

Chameleon: Rolling Tarps - Gooseneck & Bumper-Pull Flatbeds
We have a few of these,one is on a smaller hotshot trailer.Very nice and quick,easy to use.I don't know about the costs,but they're fast and easy if you need to tarp a load.Lite bug Thanks this. -
Sleeping in the back of pickup is for younger guys. You can take the passenger seat and rear seat out and run a mattress from front to rear provided you have a Crew Cab.

Tthere’s also a company that makes a replacement door panel for the right rear door , that gives you the required length to meet the DOT requirements
You remove the window regulator , and the window stays up permanently, and
The new door panel is recessed to add a few extra inches
have to remove the front passenger seat as well . But it looks like a nice setup . -
I think I mislead you all. I was not planning on sleeping in the bed of the truck but in the back seat with a small mattress. I slept like a baby in the semi I used to drive but this is a lot different.
