    What size mattresses are in the trucks?

    I’m off to Crowder College on Monday and was thinking of what to bring for bedding? The college has twin size beds so I was thinking sheets and blanket but wondered if this would work in the trucks the Con-way runs?

    If anyone has been to Crowder lately and has advice to share with me please feel free to. One question is there a shuttle to take or a store near campus that I could get to a store to buy bedding at so I don’t have to back in on the airplane?

    Thanks,
    James

    The trucks are twins too. It's not that easy to sleep two in one of those beds lol.

    34x 80 and 42 x80 are what most trucks have

    When buying sheets, you want twin xl. Regular twin length is only 75".

    Best thing I've learned in the last few years. I use double sided tape to keep mine on. Seems I'll be hitting up the outlet mall at home to try out my new found education after my next home time

    The best time to buy is when school is about to start as dorms use twin xl as well.

    do they make Ogre sized sheets? You had to be hating life in that 660. Glad you got upgraded.
