    Well constantly injesting the exhaust gases over and over and dosing on the DEF, you wouldn't sound too good either...

    I have noses in a time or two. Usually to face West so the morning sun doesn't heat the cab up, when I do get a chance to sleep in. Also there has been a couple of times where the view was significantly better than the truck stop.

    I've only been driving for 6 months and when I pulled my first loaded spread axle flatbed I could not get it angled the way I wanted so I nosed in. It was actually really peaceful. Haven't done it since though but whenever my bumper gets ripped off one of these days I'm sure I'll resort to nosing in

    After a 800 to 1000 mile ride I will usually go to bed for 5 maybe 6 hours even.

    Don’t be broadcasting that.
    You’re supposed to be sleeping soundly no less than 8 full hours!
    The other two hours are for exercise and a healthy meal.
