      I'm not a trucker, but I live out west between two different states and often make the 10hr drive back and forth.
      One time my roommate, a pretty sheltered dude living off his parents, was riding with me in my pickup, and it turned into a huge argument because we were both getting sleepy half way into drive - and so I said he could take the back seat because I sleep just fine in my driver's seat. As long as I have a pillow, I don't even need to recline my seat.
      He became all heated and said that there's no way he could sleep in the truck. Mind you, I have multiples of inflatable sleeping pads and pillows, sleeping bags, etc.
      He wouldn't have it, was acting like I was trying to serve him cockroaches for dinner. He thought sleeping in the truck was some crazy freaking idea and insisted that we get a motel.
      Well at the time I was still new in construction making laborers wages, and paying for college too, so there was no way I was even gonna pay $60 to split a room. So we drove to a motel, he got a room and I slept in the truck 😅

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  4 роки тому

      That’s true! Running heat in the truck throughout the day knocks it down pretty quick though. Also while you’re sleeping body heat will keep it from getting too cold. But yes if you come out to the truck after a few days off in the winter you definitely don’t want to hop on the bed right away lol

Same guys setup a generator and portable a/c as a substitute for idling the truck.

    I'm looking into driving hotshot too, I plan on just taking the back seat out and having a mattress custom made.
    I'm only pretty much going to use it for work, and I figure I'll be in it.most of the week. I saw a guy get a ticket on another video for being 59 pounds over. If he would of had his back seat out I bet he wouldn't of got the ticket. Point is why haul a back seat around it's just less of everything else you can take along.
    I'm going to make a custom permanent design with under storage on mine, a small RV fridge will be under there, a small.air compressor on one side, some tools etc. Rest of space will be for clothing and such.

    How tall are you? Do you sleep on your back, side or stomach? Do you have to fold your legs up at all?

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  3 роки тому +2

      I’m 6’1”. I could sleep fully extended in the ford. In the Ram I have to have my legs bent because of the b pillar and the fact that the front seat doesn’t lay all the way forward. So In the Ram I have to sleep on my side.

      Not to the FMCSA. You can’t log sleeper berth with this setup. You can sleep in the truck though you just have to log it as off duty.

    I took the seats out..it took 10 or 15 minutes..then used the 3quater ply and it worked out great..I dont like the idea of having to move the seats all the way up wich means your moving that bed in and or having to flip it up.....I even made made my bed in the morning for appearance lol

      Bill T cool deal. If I owned the truck I’d most likely have a seat less setup but if enterprise calls to swap trucks in Indiana when I hit 60k and I’m in Minnesota...I can’t exactly “swing by” Kentucky to out the seats back in before I trade out lol.

      You can’t log it as sleeper berth. If you log it as off duty it’s perfectly legal. The only thing you can’t do is split log or run teams. That’s all the sleeper berth line is good for.

    • @LoadMizer

      They wouldn’t clear the door but in the Ford you can sleep diagonally and stretch completely out flat. The Ram won’t allow that because the seat doesn’t fold up far enough.

      Yes I am. You’ll need to check with your state first because there are a couple that won’t let you register. But all you’ll need is front and back copy of the title from enterprise and you’ll just register it in your name for apportioned plates and when you turn the truck in you’ll just mail back the plate and registration or transfer to the new truck. It’s actually pretty easy once you figure out the process.
