    Its not bad......my bunk is 42 inch-The biggest I ever had in 27 years.........And I wouldn't want anything bigger.

    Don't let a sleeper size Dictate your future or earnings.......By ther Way, Why would you 'stay' in a truck for 10 hours? Your not imprisoned (Although many of you guys are programmed that way).....

    On your 10 or 34- Get OUTTA THAT TRUCK, Mingle with folks- Have a few drinks- Eat a Good meal- Walk around- But Don't just sit in your truck or trucks sleeper ...You'll go Crazy over time..Plus, You will eventually Feel Like your in a Jail Cell everyday.

    Sleeper was made for that- SLEEPING, And sleeping only

    Speaking of baby sleepers, how many of you remember those tiny sleepers that Yellow Freight had? Those 42 inch FLD Condo sleepers.

    Some companies use the baby bunks so the drivers can log sleeper berth on some of those crazy runs with a few stops each day. Can't log off duty during a stop without a motel receipt if you're driving a day cab because you're still responsible for the truck & it's cargo. @Numb in Post #14 explains it better.
