x1Heavy Thanks this.

In my Cascadia, you can kill the speakers in the sleeper but the cab speakers remain on. That's a real pain. Oh the injustices in life sometimes are just too monumental to manage.
shogun Thanks this. -
Don’t forget the direct phone from dispatch with all silencing capabilities removed and the system to monitor amount of sleep time.
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
Actually a system to monitor fluid and chemical compositions of everything inside the cab and sleeper. Banned substances or excessive coffee etc will cause a ejection.
I hate to be difficult but you have to keep the sleeper simple. One of the most valued controls was a seperate sound system equalizer and volume back there. So that I can sleep while Heavy metal is played by the Hellion up front and Hellion can sleep while Unshackled is raging and preaching with me up there. Ha.
A truck that will stay running without idle shutting down and restart would be valuable. (As well as one that is ungoverned) Also one that replicates the current temperature of the reefer for those who have it as well as possibly video feed from the trailer and so forth to examine the situation outside if say a hooker knocked on the door in the night.
Maybe a GPS repeater of current truck information presented to trainee for benefit of trainer trying to sleep. However the screens if any inside that sleeper must not emit blue light, special attention needs to be given to lighting that supports sleep.
I wondered sometimes what can be done if you adapted a Ring doorbell video system to the truck and then tied into the sleeper. So that a police man can be presented with a small screen for his benefit to do inspections while the driver stays asleep perhaps? (And a video record of same...) -
If you are too lazy to reach 4-5 feet to the dash, maybe you should find another line of work.
mustang190, flood, adayrider and 1 other person Thank this. -

How about a steering wheel?

If it’s it too much trouble, a compressed air supply in the sleeper would be great. I some times get dizzy blowing up my special lady friend on those nights I’m feeling especially lonely.
I tried leaving her inflated but certain law enforcement agencies start asking questions better left un-asked.Brettj3876, Kyle G. and Bakerman Thank this. -
