How is it like sleeping in your truck?

Trucker sleep is the best #### sleep you can get!!! I miss crawling back in the bunk and getting some hardcore sleep! If you are worried about noise just get you some foam earplugs. Like the other drivers said get you a good custom mattress fit to your needs. We used to drive team so I chucked the spring mattress for one of the memory foam ones and it was so nice! I think that you are going to be so stressed and so tired that when you pull off that road that sleeper will be your own private paradise. Hell, you'll be thinking about the sleeper while you are driving! The absolute worst part is when you come home. That's when you will find it hard to sleep!

Nothing like being parked out in the desert or somewhere in New Mexico on a quiet off ramp or dirt lot with the truck off and the windows open with the breeze rocking your truck to sleep. Or how bout when the highway is shutdown and your in WYO at a rest stop with three feet of snow on the ground and trucks parked all the way down the interstate. Turn on the ol' CB, grab a jimmy buffett book, crank the bunk heat and relax in your own tropical paradise!

 

These two statements are absolute GOLD!!!!!

 

After awhile it's hard to sleep at home because there isn't enough noise. You'd be surprised what your body gets used to. I haul reefer though so there's no escaping it by parking in the middle of nowhere. I prefer it though, you don't hear anything else going on around you really.

 

Good to know it's not just me that hates being beside those trucks, lol.

 

Good mattress, comfortable bedding. CRITICAL! I'm 6'7", its wide enough, yet I find myself with one leg hanging off the bunk often. Otherwise, I sleep the sleep of the dead!

 

Have to agree.. I cant sleep when I get home.. sometimes I just wanna go out and crawl in my bunk.. and sleep like a baby.. the sound the vibration..ahhhhh... so nice..

 

When I'm in my truck, I am absolutely dead to the world until my alarm goes off. I sleep so well when the truck's idling, I've had shippers/receivers that took forever to unload me beat on my door for a good 10 minutes without hearing them.

 

I have the best sleeps in the back of my truck actually. Sometimes i had trouble waking up after 8 hours when i did my first long haul trips lol
