As long as the Dodge has an approved Sleeper Berth, Maybe.
-
The 3500 has to be retrofitted w/sleeper berth then?
-
It needs a separate area for taking rest breaks for one of the drivers. If it's a crew cab, or a cab and a half, you can have a bed fitted there.
-
it's a 3500 HD 4 door 4W/D .there is room in the back for a "sleeper berth" but is the truck cab legal so that two drivers can run it 24/7 ?

Be lucky you have the back row for sleep. We have cargo can drivers who team up and they have to run 30+hours in the front seat. They get a motel at the end of the run, but holy cow. You would never catch me doing that.
-
So if they get pulled in to a weigh station and get inspected w//
log books there won't be any problems? -
as long as they don't log sleeper berth, just log off duty your fine.
-
The GVWR isn't high enough on those trucks to require daily logging. They only have to complete a pre-trip on the vehicle in most provinces and US states. I don't have an answer to your question but I can't imagine being able to log sleeper birth if you're just sleeping on the second row of seats. I have no real idea without looking up the regulations though my guess is purely speculation.
-
yes they do have to log, the GVWR on the truck alone is well over 10k.
