Three in the cab

He lucky they put him in a Hotel/motel. I have seen companies do that for a Husband and Wife team. Normally it's one sleeps while 2 up front, or with the trainer driving guess the Hubby and wife in back.

My first run I had 2 others riding with me to get home for Christmas. Male and female. Since it was my truck and I was responceble I stayed up to see how they drove before I rested. THe Guy, well he scared the living #### out of me so I stayed beside him the entire time, finially drove under his log book. When the lady took over, I felt safe, and got some sleep time. There was nothing unsafe besides me using his log to drive extra time with.

 

As a driver team, we hauled a military escort load with a soldier in the passenger seat and the off-duty driver in the bunk. Our small convoy included two Army cars with soldiers who walked guard duty around the truck whenever we stopped. They also had a van with fire fighting equipment.

Tri-State Motor Transit often paid for two motel rooms when we had time to rest. I liked to watch TV, and my lead driver preferred to work on his Sunday School lessons. Rather than showering at truck stops, we got a motel room. Tri-State paid whatever receipts we turned in. During delay enroute due to darkness while hauling oversize loads, Tri-State paid the motel bill and also paid us by the hour. We got paid for sleeping. The good ol' days are gone forever.

 

Well, a couple of things come to mind, the sleeper berth is probably ( used this term to avoid the whole issue of search warrant ) considered much like the living quarters of a RV.
But, if concerned about safety, how many school buses have you seen with seatbelts??
