    I had that happen in the one of the many pull off areas Wyoming used to have along the interstates. I was in a cabover and the truck in front of me had his brake lights on. Scared the crap out of me. I miss those pull off areas though.

    OK, but the important question is
    "do, or do you not, have panties on?" ;-)

    I make a point to only sleep in the sleeper for the reasons already stated. I've had those moment before where I woke up thinking the truck was moving. Now, it's just mostly of what city am I in again for the first few minutes of coming out of a deep sleep.

    I gotta say the same thing, never sleep on the steering wheel. so you woke up in a panic and calmed down. Next time or two later you will fall asleep for real when the truck is moving but your mind will tell you it's OK, just a dream.

    Don't forget to wake up Leroy, "cause he ain't ever seen a wreck like we're about to have."
