    I'm 6'2" and am considering trucking. Are some trucks wider than others. Will I be able to stretch completely out.

    Thanks

    the century i used to drive took twin size sheets on the mattress, but the bunk was a little longer than the mattress.

    I'm 6' and have no problem with the 63" in my 379.

    They're plenty long enough as far as bed length but Heaven help you if you get stuck in a "Coffin Box" like this one: [​IMG]

    I wish I had one of these [​IMG]
    but not yellow. Yellow on trucks and Vettes is like telling the Bears "Here I am, come get me and my wallet". :biggrin_25525:

    Usually websites will the how wide the bunks and mattresses are. Per Internationals website, they list the 9400 and 9200 series having 37in wide bunks. I do not know if this for owner ops and/or regular fleet trucks.

    You will have no problem with length in a bunk. Width varies from twin to king.
