    My favorites are the
    International LT midroof single bunk, lots of storage in the sidewall bins

    The new Mack Anthem, I really like what they did with that truck. I got to sit in one awhile back at the dealer in town.

    Volvo is the best I’ve driven by far. T680 was the worst. Cascadia is somewhere in between.

    you ain't gonna have too much choice as a company driver. you select the company that offers you the better part of pay, benefits, and home time.

    all sleepers are darned good these days.

    when YOU become and o/o and BUY your own truck, you can spec it out with MORE insulation and sound deadening materials, and whatever else you desire.

    as a newbie, be thankful you even get a job.....

    You want the sleeper that stays out of the shop the most.

    Is that 45000 dry or reefer? Cause my t680 holds 45000 with a reefer and everything filled up if loaded evenly and even then I’d still be light on the steers around 11.3k. The newer t680s with the new trans are way lighter on the steers even if you slide the 5th to the front goes to around 11.8k on heavy loads.

    The big Volvo sleepers are great. And Volvos ride like Cadillacs floating on chocolate pudding. I wish I was driving a Volvo instead of 2018 Freightliner.

    Newer Cascadias have an upgrade option where the bed actually folds up and a real table and bench folds down.. Like in an RV.
    .There's a video of a guy who fit an entire drumset in the sleeper and he plays them. It would be super to have a real table and bench so the upgraded cascadia is my choice

    Almost any company has a decent sleeper as long as you don’t work for someone who uses the ultra lightweight trucks that are mini everything
