    How do you guys get comfortable in truck while OTR? Anyone manage to get a small recliner chair in the back? What is your setup using a laptop etc?

    Man that looks nice. Probably can't do that with a company truck I would guess.

    Some company’s equip their trucks with swivel seats. Some trucks like Volvo and now the Cascadia come with whats called a work station. The Studio sleeper in a KW has a couch that turns into a bed.

    Everybody does it different, but you’ll find your comfy hang out spot in your truck.

    Most will remove the passenger seat to make more room for you.

    I started with a lawn chair. Than a reclining deck chair.

    Than I dropped the bomb and got the gaming chair. Not a gamer but it is handy when prepping food and cooking

    I've never had an OTR truck with a comfortable place to sit and watch TV or use a laptop, for example. My truck has free satellite TV but I either have to sit on the bunk and watch over my shoulder or lay on the bunk to watch and be comfortable. I would live a swiveling driver seat.

    When I sit on my bunk and use my laptop on the table it kills my back. I find the best place is to put the laptop on the steering wheel and sit in the driver's seat. You already have arm rests and it's comfy.
     
    D.Tibbitt, tscottme and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Hardest part is getting the recliner in. Maybe get one in pieces, I’d love to have a recliner in the Truck. And a hot tub too!!

    The right gaming chair is way better than most all office chairs even outside of a truck.
