What an ignorant statement, I trained and never expected my student to sleep on the top bunk while the truck was moving. I had them lay their sleeping bag over my bedding and use their own pillow. It’s hard enough to get adequate rest on the bottom bunk of a moving truck, if you force your student to sleep on the top bunk of a moving truck, your not only putting your personal safety at risk but others as well.
Top bunk, don't do it, ever!!!

I'm in training and my trainers hygiene not up to my standards and it's a piss bottle down there so guess where I sleep that's right top bunk ....
I LIKE TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY and I'm not even sitting on that bed -

I will say the top is good for storage. Now that I am in a truck that doesn't have one, I am missing it.

It's illegal to drive a big truck while fatigued. You will not sleep well on the top bunk while the truck is moving, so you will be driving fatigued and illegally.

Thats bc you're doing it wrong. Top bunks do come with restraints and those thin foam mattress that the company gives arent enough for a comfortable sleep on neither the top or bottom bunk. Regardless of top or bottom bunk, you'll have to add extra cushioned hybrid mattress. Its just weird to want to sleep in others peoples bed. Let alone the extra work needed to transition back and forth. Your being a cheap skate by not investing in your own comfort bc the top bunk does come with restraints. And its rude as hell.
