    what about toilet paper?
    should i be using 1 ply or two
    i know 1 ply is cheaper--but rougher--but is 2 ply worth the extra money?
    or maybe i could just use the log sheets that i keep ripping out of my book
     
    CondoCruiser Thanks this.

    I sometimes drive a day cab, and this summer I slept outside in SD, with a blanket..does anyone know if FMCSA prohibits sleeping on the ground? It was a very balmy 68 degrees and I did not mind it.

    This winter I had a flat on my day cab, and had to sleep overnight in it in MN....I was prepared and had a plastic box to put between the two seats so I could sleep....probably does not meet the definition of a sleeper berth does it...so I must have been on duty for the time I was sleeping in the cab???

    It was 15 degrees, so it was too cold to sleep outside...ya think....

    Didn't there USED to be some law about needing white sheets in case you needed something white for an accident or injury?

    I swear that was an old DOT law, but google didnt turn up anything.
    Perhaps someone out there that was out there back then could chime in.

    You cant legally take a 10 hour break in a day cab. You better have hotel receipts or be able to prove you have family in the area...
