    Sounds like prison. Not that I know.
    These companies really need to overhaul the way they train.
    Kinda glad I decided to wait until winter as being stuck in a hot truck with another dude would suck.

    I doubt many trainers would be cool with a stranger in their bed while they're behind the wheel. Best sleep I ever had was in that top bunk while the truck was moving. Like being in mama's womb!

    Almost forgot, are you a teaspoon or a tablespoon?

    I think most if not all companies it is policy that when the truck is moving no one can be on the top bunk.

    Really? It had a net-belt deal like the bottom bunk, so I assume it was meant to be used while rolling. Never heard that one. This was in 2003 with a smaller company, not a mega. Interesting. Learn something new every day.

    I never heard of this policy, if it have that net belt thing it should be legal. I had a student who was too tired sleep on top for awhile

    The two Mega companies I have worked for both had this rule and both had the belt deal that straps in like a net...
