    It has a double sleeper if im saying that correctly there also a fridge in it , it came with a system im sure your familiar with this system allows me to shut the truck off without having problems starting it in the winter. Its really a nice truck! Also I do have a son that 20 he's away in college and he did say he has no interest in driving it LOL but we'll see.

    Like crappie said see how much your insurance is and maybe find a part-time gig because you would be making a mistake leaving your current job.Even though you don't have any exp driving a semi you do have exp with a clutch and driving in heavy traffic so it won't take you long at all to catch on.But for now think about part-time to see if you like this type of work.
