    My wife and I plan on running as a team, So my question is what is the typical size of the lower bed for us and are there different sizes or is that more of a custom thing ? and what do the couples do when the are parked or want a nap while its the others sleeper time ..im not a cuddler :) Im a- don't touch me !!!

    I think I know the answer and I'm laughing as we have had a king size bed for the past 15 yrs and that seems small and 1/2 that is funny just to think about ...

    So please enlighten me ...Thanks

    Well if you don't want her touching you

    Somebody is going to be sleeping up top while stopped.

    Good news is.. Most of the time when you drive she's going to be sleeping or vice versa. At least if the company can keep you guys busy.

    Knew what you meant... Was pretty clear, just too lazy to type it out exactly like you wrote.

    So are all sleeper beds for the most part created equally size wise ?

    not every truck has 2 beds, 2 of the 3 i've ever driven had 1 bed. (and one I had to team in for 3 days)

    I can't say how big sleepers are, it varies from truck A to truck B.

    It depends on the truck. the bunks are normally twin size. If you look through truck ads you see different sleeper sizes i.e 48, 56, 60 and 70 inches. Some are tighter than others. My
