I’ll double down on that. I slip seat at the moment. Usually stay out a few weeks at a time.
I don’t move the truck until my gear is unpacked and put away. Otherwise you spend a week trying to put it all away. And you have to make your bed, tired.
Man top sleeper bunk is tiny when your a tall person!

That's not what I wanted to hear. I am thinking about getting into trucking but i'm 6'6". I would have to go out with a trainer for 6 weeks. Even if it's 3 weeks then a break then 3 more weeks that's still alot of time to go without a decent nights sleep. I'm only 185 pounds though so that should help a little.

Top bunk uses prison mattresses also. Double whammy.bzinger Thanks this.

I'm considering getting into trucking because I may not be able to do my manual labor paper factory job after having a total hip replacement at age 38(39 now). It's starting to sound like trucking may not be a good option either.TripleSix Thanks this.

It could be painful during training. You can change mattresses or add a topper once you get your own.
Your hip most certainly might be an issue for you. Just take a quick trip to a truckstop and watch how many drivers walk with a limp. Hip problems abound in this industry. -
The 579 I had at Magnum was a single, but I saw the trainer's trucks with the double bunk...not sure how 2 grown adults fit in that truck.
I had one of those at Poly, and the only cabinets they had were little ones on the wall behind/above each seat, and a small metal shelf you could strap a TV to behind the passenger seat.Schoob Thanks this. -
You can put your own mattress in there. Even custom made if you want.
I have an expensive three inch memory foam over mine. Obscenely comfortable with the factory mattress.SteerTire Thanks this. -
I’ve done the same with company truck. Ordering custom for my truck. May add foam also if it isn’t as comfortable as I need.WesternPlains Thanks this.

Yes, riding with a trainer is about the hardest time you'll have trucking. It will go by pretty fast.GettingRolling, Lepton1 and Muddydog79 Thank this.
