    My sleeper is either a Best Western or a Motel6!
    There are some advantages to driving a daycab. :)

    . I drove a W9 with the roll up to the sleeper. Cummins and 5 inch straight pipes going down the grapevine when the rpms got above 1700 with the jake on the window would roll down. Dang I miss that truck.

    True, but they don’t leave the light on for me.

    when was the last time those bed sheets were changed at motel 6? I can tell you when they were last done in my bunk....

    still easier to park a sleeper In the yard every day Then nap in a daycab, even still if I’m going to splurge on a hotel it will be a holiday inn which are usually cleaner, and have a pool and a bar, but I’m not really in the truck enough to justify it most of the time

    I pick up my new T880 with a 40" low roof on Monday. I wouldn't call it a coffin, but it's just a glorified closet so we can easily throw in our winter gear.
