    Here is my dilemma....I am 6'5" and 315 lbs...a Bigun to say the least...what once was mostly muscle, now...not so much. Anyhow..if I go to KLLM I have to ride, drive and sleep somewhere in the berth...How much room will I have? If I am up top...can I turn over? (I could not in the Navy when I only weighed 235lbs). How much R the upper berths rated for? Would a trainer feel comfortable sleeping beneath me? Would I sleep in the lower?

    OR

    Should I just go to Watkins and Shepard and not have to deal with or worry about it?

    just asking?

    Make sure it's not a mid-roof sleeper. I'm 6'2" 240lbs. That was a tight fit up there. Any training truck should be a full condo.

    You'll be fine. And you need to look me up when you get going. I seem to hang at the Jackson terminal most weekends.
