Don’t forget about bunkhouses at some of the bigger city terminals.

Hope you like sleeping in a 8 foot square closet. Tho the closet does have 500 hp engine and a window to look out.

When I was an over-the-road driver, I slept every night in the cab of my truck. On a pile of old laundry. Because I was young, disgusting, and simple.
When I did LTL, I slept in a motel every night. Some were nice, some were not.
Now that I'm essentially local, I sleep every night in my bed.
And that is typically going to be your three modes.Mike2633, lovesthedrive, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this. -

Some of the best sleep is done while on autopilot.farmerjohn64, 650cat425 and Upinsmoke Thank this. -
I remember sleeping in the bunk back in 2000 to 2002 OTR. So tired sometimes I didn't remember what city & state I was in. After 18 years working in the city and sometimes sleeping in hotels with regional routes I'm hesitant to go OTR again even though now it pays $0.65 cpm compared to $0.32 cpm back in then. Sleeping in my house compared to a truck is a serious sacrifice in life.

Wasn't it Celadon in Indy that used to have basically a jail cell you slept in
