pickup sleepers

The only reason to meet those measurements,

is to log sleeper berth.

 

This is what I built.

Its a little short for me but it's a nice place to take a break. Took about a hour to build and $90 so good for a tight budget. It'll do till I can afford putting a real sleeper on the truck.

 

Im not a hot shot driver. But I have passedsome guys that remove the bed and put an old KW sleeper on thier trucks, and either build a shorter bed or just build a flat bed behind it.

 

My husband and I team hotshot loads from Houston to all over the west coast and as far east at South Carolina. For DOT regs and safety we will be added a sleeper to the truck. He is 6'3 and being in a 3500 Dodge does not give him a lot of room. Because we want to stay rolling and have plenty of rest in between drive times, I believe it will be worth it. Does anyone else have an opinion of Cowtownsleepers? S

 

Ok, I'm about to ask, what is probably, a really stupid question but, here goes anyway.

Doesn't sleeping in a motel constitute a business expense and would, therefore, be tax deductible?

 

Yes it will a tax deduction

 

I wouldn't want to team in a pickup truck. A full size condo sleeper truck was bad enough. Gives me the chills even thinking about it. How on earth do you sleep?

 

I see your point. Thanks.

 

I have done the same since starting with cars in July 2013. I'm not over 6' tall (5'9") so the back seat does me very well for the 10 hour off duty period. I added a 3" memory foam pad with cover. I can get a good 8 hours of sleep while saving the cost for a motel room.
