    off duty, not SB

    holiday inn express is one of the better ones, I would not go any where near half of these roach motels I see trucks parked in front of.

    I wouldn't be so sure of that.......with the labor shortage an all. What ever you do.......do NOT bring your black light with you........or you'll be sleeping in your day cab with your caboose on a box of straws! Lol

    Head and shoulders on passenger seat, lower back and butt on drivers seat, feet out drivers window. I have slept that way a times while sitting in a field somewhere waiting for the loader to show up to load hay or straw.

    I have also been known to sleep under my trailer if the grass is somewhat soft, use a rolled up coat for a pillow.
