    I have driven semi-trucks about 1.3 million miles in my life.

    Thank you.

    My grandfather told me the Japanese used to spend 90% of their time planning, and 10% execution of plan.

    In regards to the auto industry.

    I wouldn't tie my shoes without a back up plan.

    Flip flops would be my first thought.

    Freightliner has a bottom storage spot on driver side in sleeper below were you put clothes. It is carpeted. I put my cpap in their you can put the hose and mask in their and close the door when driving. If co drive hit the brakes hard and slide cpap forward it will bump in to the cabinet wall. It would be hard to to slide I think because of the carpet plus my cpap so rubber on bottom so it doesn’t really move at all. I don’t team drive but you could probably hook something up up to keep the door mostly closed when co driver is driving but it cant be to tight to squeeze the air hose.

    I’m using a regular full size cpap. They do make travel cpap that are very small. When parked I have sleep on top bunk using my cpap. All you need to buy is a 10 foot hose and you can leave cpap in that bottom cabinet. The only thing you give up with a 10 food hose is they are not heated. I like the heated hose since they help when using humidity. If don’t use that, a 10 foot hose is the same an any non heated standard cpap hose

    Idk... flip flops are usually right or left foot specific, which would require an entire new thread. He seems more like a crocs guy to me.

    I’d probably duct tape the cpap machine to your forehead. It would keep you from rolling out of bed also!
