    If I decide to go over the road trucking in a truck with a sleeper how much nap time can I expect to get in a day? I will need to sleep in till 9 AM and will want to park the truck at 4 PM with some nap time in between. Can this be accomplished? My current job is slave labor and I HAVE to work over 40 hours a week and am sick of it. I want a real job with lots of money and less hours. I hear trucking allows more time for rest. Is this true?

    You'll make it.

    They pretty much drive themselves - you can nap all day.

    I can tell you've got the grit son, are you going to lease to CRE, Central, or do it the right way with CRST first?

    Maybe you should work part time at your local flying j. And nap on your days off too. You dont know a thing about this industry. Good luck.

    Comedic awareness should probably be added to the DOT physical . . .

    Consider a job working for your state MVA, or any gubernment job for that matter. It sounds like you will fit right in, probably make high level management in six months .
