Restraints while sleeping or riding in bunk.

Umm....equipment requirement is still applicable for a motor vehicle manufactured on or after July 1, 1971 and equipped with a sleeper berth. There is no provision for a solo operation.

[FMCSR 393.76 (h)]

There is no other provision. The supposition on the part of DOT is regardless of intention, it is possible for any CMV equipped with a sleeper berth to become, at some point, a team operation.

 

Yes, I may have been in violation, and no, I don't care. I still retained the device in the truck, it was just removed for storage. I never had to discuss the point with any enforcement officer (even having had several complete inspections, including the sleeper area), but I am not concerned about earning a violation over it. YMMV.

Of course as you posted, if I am not using the compartment as a sleeper berth, then I am in compliance.

 

Now this really depends on what you are into. Also what Gina's preferences are. Who knows, maybe she is into being tied up?

Ever try hand cuffs and whips and spurs?

 

I wouldn't recommend using spurs on a blow-up doll.

 

I'm the Leo that is in need of instructions on how to rig this thing up! So far I've managed a pretty good hammock! LOL!
