Training Trip Question - And - Average Sleeper Area Photo Request

The pictures are a complete failure. For some reason the forums must have made changes to what I can do with living pictures hosted elsewhere on the internet.

Tractor trailer sleeper

You should come up with thousands of pictures of all sorts of tractor trailer sleeper situations.

Do not get carried away by those that look like apartments inside your tractor trailer.

 

Im not otr anymore, so no pictures to show.

But in regards to queston 2...eaxh company is different how they train. When I was with Shaffer I drove my hours with my trainer by my side the whole time. Then he drove some when my hours were up.

 

Some companies use solo clock, some go team. Pick carefully. You don't learn much if one of you is always asleep, and it's not very safe either.

 

I grabbed this image off of the internet. No the colors and diamond tuck isn't what you'll typically find inside of a Freightliner Cascadia, but the colors made it easier to see in the picture. Most closely resemble this picture.

 

Should show the bunk style and then focus on the top, a trainee gets the pleasure of climbing up to that spot, just do not let them stick you up there and drive while you are up there, it is a strait shot to the windscreen in case of very quick stop.

 

When I trained with Swift it was solo with trainer in the passenger seat for I think 50 hrs (was awhile ago) then team after that
I'm 6' 3" and 250# and sleep on the top bunk when the wife is with no problem

 

when I train we sleep two deep in the bottom bunk. I always get the wall.
