    Can use the top bunk while moving if it has a safety net.
    I tried sleeping in the top bunk, but you're above the center of gravity and the sway of the truck is multiplied that high up. It's like trying to sleep in a hammock that someone keeps pushing.

    Even if someone wanted to, you can't legally team without a sleeper. Since you can't log sleeper, the co-driver's clock would start after 30 minutes of off duty while the truck is moving. They can both sleep on the floor for 10 hours after their 14 is up, though.

    Goodness. Nah a big no thank you. I guess there are some that would sleep on the floor in a truck but it’s not for me and I currently team.

    Let us know how many takers you get without the bunk setup. It would be interesting to know.
