    OK, as a follow-up to my question about sleepers, "are sleepers brand specific, or can most any sleeper be put an most any truck? Foe example, can you put a KW sleeper on another brand truck."

    All modern aero trucks have integral sleepers, meaning they are part of the cab and are classified as one complete unit.

    This is wrong. On new trucks they can not be interchange, they are truck specific.
    KW aero will not go on a pete

    If your pulling a tanker a big stand up sleeper is the last thing you want.

    Ouch, you hit the nail on the head! I am a company driver, thinking about going O/O, but I do pull tankers. BTW, why is a big sleeper a bad idea if pulling tankers? Clearance? Turning?
