    #1 what size are the beds / sheets in the truck?

    Most are twin extra long, although they vary in width by a few inches. Most twin sheets will fit most mattresses in most trucks.

    #2 are bullydog (or other) programmers a no no for driving a company truck?

    Company's don't want any programers messing with their truck and you could be fired for it. The company pulls you ecm every time you go in and they will find out. Any add on systems that affect engine proformance willl leave a trace and are genraly not aloud. If you work for a small enough company your boss may allow, but certainly not with any big company.

    #3 medical issues that will keep you from driving?


    High blood pressure is the most common. Sleep apnia, Hernia, Vission not corrected by glasses....if your worried get a dot physical before you start cdl school.

    #4 what kind of transportation do most of u have onboard the truck for when u are at the limit?None, although some companies allow a bike on the catwalk.
