Bunk bed size

My mattress is 42" I believe.... I keep warm with my ESPAR bunk heater and an Electro-Warmth heated mattress pad.

 

Slightly larger than a twin. The sleeping bag is a good idea. I used mine under the sheet as extra padding...

 

An Espar or a Wabasto is nice to have. All last winter I only had to idle the truck one night when it got below twenty but, at that temp they want us to idle them anyway.

 

I've just gotta chime in here.. I can't believe so many people are such wusses when it comes to sleeping in the cold! You can get a high quality sleeping bag that will keep you warm in -20 or colder for anywhere from $200 to $600. I have personally camped in a tent pitched on the snow when the temperature was at 15 below and I was perfectly comfortable because I had a good sleeping bag. I know it sounds expensive, but a few hundred bucks isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things and it is pretty much a once in a lifetime investment. I have had my bag for about 16 years and it still keeps me warm, although its a bit smelly and not quite as pretty as it once was! In addition to many many winter backpacking trips I slept in that bag every night for two winters when I was living in an unheated camper on Donner summit working at a ski resort. So save up in the summer and buy a decent bag from a real outdoors store like the REI in the fall and never worry about being cold again and never have to idle in winter. Duh! Now when it comes to summer that's another story. I HATE any temperature over 70 degrees.

 

I have never got in Sunday morning and had to leave the same day. If you have your 70 hours in then you take 34 off. My weekends at home were usually home late Friday or early Saturday and leave out on Sunday afternoon. Don't believe every thing you read. Most otr companies will keep you out 10 to 14 days with 2 days off. Home every weekend doesn't mean all weekend. Depends on where you live and where the company is located. I won't see home for 14 to 21 days because of where I live, and I went thru a company out of state. I could stay with my last employer otr and be home every week. It varies.
