Holy Cow! This Ain't A Sleeper It's A Ballroom!

"Mayflower PLUS"

Take the stress out of moving. We'll transport you and your furnitue.

Ha!

These guys usually only go from warehouse to warehouse and not to the residence. I am willing to bet that there is more than one household on most of those trailers.

So, is that a company truck? Or owner/operator? I'd love for my boyfriend to drive one of those! Getting tired of sharing a twin size bed and peeing in a coffee can.

That is owner operator. No company in their right mind would put up with the poor mpg and reduced freight capacity I bet.

There called livelabs. And most drivers that drive those don't own a home. They are driving it.

I remember several years ago watching some History Channel show or another (might have been Modern Marvels, but I wouldn't swear to it) that showed off the inside of one of those. They're not just huge, but they're set up (or at least can be) like top of the line RV interiors. At the time, which was admittedly many years before I began seriously considering trucking as a career, I thought to myself that that was the kind of sleeper I'd want. Now, after having driven a truck for several years, and having to maneuver one in extremely tight quarters, I wouldn't take one of those unless I had an ironclad guarantee that my loads were all DC to DC (or similar) with ample room to turn and back, and my routes would never involve old highways running through little turdsplat towns where the "highway" is a 2 lane road with 73 90-degree turns. Sure, those mega-sleepers are spacious and luxurious, and have nifty amenities like showers and toilets, but if it's a choice between convenience and functionality, I'll take functionality any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
