Could this work? Is it allowed

It will take a toll on you after awhile. The guys that do it get hotels. Being in shape has nothing to do with irregular sleep patterns and the comfort level on your body for sleep.

 

id add a sleeper to the back smonehow, be easer on the back/ and mor storage space too

 

The DOT doesn't like a driver taking their 10 hour break in a day cab, and I think it's illegal.

 

Its illegal cause u cant log it

It is illegal

 

DOT has specific regualtions on how big a sleeper must be and it must o be part of the driver compartment. A while Ago I heard about a car hauler converting the back seat of his crew cab to a sleeper. (under dot reg do to weight) He got busted one time for log violations since the "sleeper" wasn't wide enough. For off duty time to count to your 10 hour break, part must be in a hotel or at home. For you to log sleeper time it must meat dot standards for a sleeper in width clearance and length.

 

....collect hotel tax write off????

 

could get pricey at 60/night on average
