Curious Question?

I have been trolling the forum this long night and have been reading up on what people bring with them and such for training. I haven't made it through the whole thing but I was wondering if anyone ever brought or brings a hammock? Not the crappy rope and spreader bar type, but the light weight, strong, and amazingly comfortable camping type? I have a hammock of my own I use for sleeping and I was wondering if its something someone has used? How well did it go? Did you have trouble finding a nice spot(not that your very limited)? Any trouble with the authorities or anyone for that matter?

And also I want to ask what kind and range of replacement parts for your truck do you bring? I've already heard the windshield wiper stuff but what about other things? All the little joints, connectors, fittings and such that are so critical and if they do break are easy(relatively) to fix but bring the whole operation to screeching halt?

Rubber grommets for air line connections (glad hands)

Assorted lights

A SERIOUS post?

Training... A hammock? You really need to explain your plan.

Put a hammock in the sleeper berth? Put a hammock at a truck stop?

I'm not providing any solutions, because I don't know what you're thinking- Your plan.

Being the mechanic I am, I'd have to take me a small tool box loaded with wrenches etc to pretty much fix anything I could along the side of the road. Rather than wait for some road service jockey to show up lol. My test light, crimpers and assorted butt connectors etc as well as extra lights/bulbs

Hammocks are for relaxing, so you won't need it, leave it at home for that day or two a month you get there.

I use a camping hammock when I'm camping. There's not enough room in a truck to hang one. At a truck stop, relaxing that way outside your truck will not be relaxing, what with all the noise and no privacy whatever.

Sorry for not being specific enough, I was talking about after training when I am on my own. I was curious if anyone had tried and what their success was, but as I can see no one has. And it dawn on me that it would be very loud at the few places that I could sleep at. On to the next idea.

I don't know, I could actually see that being quite nice at some of the quieter rest areas...

I think you're nuts. (In a rest area). With all the wackos running around.
