    So true. My 400lb trainer at swift almost smelled worse right after a shower. Its almost like the soap and water awakened all of the smells on him...

    Dryver you hit it man! Sucks! How many times did I unload in Laredo at 5am then they expect you to sleep all day in a hot ### truck noises outside. Then head to Chicago at 9pm finish your morning in Arkansas and feel like meth addict up all night on coffe buzz

    I didn't have a problem sleeping next to stacks when I drove a t660 but this evolution I'm in is much thinner. The back wall is the thinnest part of the entire sleeper. It gives me the sense that freightliner sleepers are less dense than kenworth sleepers.

    I am sorry but your post made me almost fall out of my chair laughing. It reminded me of a night in Arkansas at my terminal. It was around midnight and I was drinking coffee and doing paperwork. This student came into the driver lounge and just looked at me. I swear she was crying. She told me the guy training her was passing gas so bad it was peeling the paint off the truck. She woke up and almost threw up and ran out of the truck. I have no idea how that ended because I had a pickup in Missouri and left about an hour later. I laughed all the way.
