Hello everyone, I recently started training with a mentor. I told him I can't sleep in the sleeper berth while he is driving. I tend to get bounced around back there while he is driving, but he is not willing to park for a few hours so I can sleep. Should I try to request a different mentor? All suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

Is this your first team job? It's probably you not the trainer. Welcome to trucking.

You will learn to sleep, and probably get some of your best sleep soon. Grab some zquilnor something similar and take it as soon as you should be in the bunk. It's a crutch and not something to rely on, but should get you over the hump.

Try to say away from coffee or energy drinks mid to late in your shift so you can actually sleep when the time comes. Earplugs might help.farmerjohn64 and Davidbenjamin Thank this. -
You'll survive. We all did. It is only about Six weeks of your life. When you get tired enough.... you'll sleep. Keep your eye on the prize.......
