Hi guys, I’m just getting ready to go to trucking school. I was told to bring bedding.. so what do I need to be comfortable on the road?
Has anyone purchased a cab mattress? If so, what’s the best one?

austinmike, mhyn and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
Take a extra large sleeping bag and pillow. You can switch to sheets after you are assigned your own truck. In fact, I used the sleeping bag method my whole career.

I've been told to go to local mattress manufacturer, and tell them how firm you like a mattress.
I have not done this yet. But I've been told its cheaper than the foam mattress pads at TA last one I bought was $210 I think. -
Here is the one I purchased

But if you are just starting school then I would just take a comfortable sleeping bag and a big pillow... -
how big are you. us plus size models need springs not foam. so a good pillow top twin from big lots will work

I got me a tuft and needle

Have the company send truck to dealer and put in a premium mattress.
Schooling i know nothing about. Never anything regarding sleeping lessons and bedtime stories in my lifetime.Numb Thanks this. -
AFTER you've been assigned your own truck, go to Walcott (Iowa 80). You can pick from an array of mattresses- from the soft one that give me backaches to the concrete kind that let me sleep like a baby- in an array of price points.

some companies will put a new one in for you,WHEN you get your own.
if it's not good enough, shop for "super" single size. 40X 75 or there about.x1Heavy Thanks this.
