    Ask a lawyer, you need to talk to one about it and ask them about the liability of the 'trainer' because he is the actual responsible party, not the company.

    Who knows, as someone mentioned, you may be in your own truck from all of this be an O/O.

    All this talk of suing and taking someone for a ride because of a small cut on your head?

    Learn from the mistake and move on

    There is no law or any FMCSA regulations that prohibit or prevent anyone from being in the top bunk while the truck is running.

    That’s not what @Ex-Trucker Alex said. And he’s a veteran. :eek: He said it’s the LAW. Regardless, I’m done with this. I’ll be reading the mail……and I’m gone….
