Teams

Being up that high not only caused the top to have more sway (which is how I rolled out of my bunk on several occasions), you're more likely to sustain worse injuries in an accident. I did that about 2 or 3 times before I wised up and slept on the first deck.

Is there enough space in the truck to actually roll out of your bunk? I thought it was basically right up behind the seats.

The same is true for the loads....it.is best to have the loads as close.to.the floor.as possible otherwise they can sway to you need load lock bars.

The sole l9ghtweights have the bed eight behind the seat... in the team trucks or "condos" there is more room and there are cabinets between the seats and the bed. I'm five foot three.... could easily roll out. The bed is supposed to be a Twin XL mattress

Have you seen the lightweights in person? I'm curious about those. The CPM difference is attractive, but I'm wondering how sustainable it is. I'm only 5'2", so I know the bunk will be ok. I'm just worried about all the other stuff I would need. I would want to keep my passenger seat so I can put my dog there.

Ms. M; a Cascadia XT 48" tractor is one example of a lightweight truck. You can check one out here

I have seen them and there is a thread here but my phone won't show the pics. Search lightweight trucks on this site.

Think about it this way...in training I have basically been living with my stuff on the top bunk in a duffle bag and backpack. I sleep here when parked my stuff at the bottom of my feet. I sleep in the bottom bed when driving. Going from one bunk in someone else truck to having my own space permanently will be a huge improvement. (But I love my trainer er and we have fun)

I'll be able to give up my apartment and live on the truck so I can afford whatever I can't fit on the truck. If u don't take out the passenger seat there is no room for a fridge or microwave Which means truck stop food. It has some shelves for storage But small ones. Also the makes are different. Peterbilts look bigger than Freightliners. Ur used to tour buses so u can handle this.

The dogs bowls would have to go in the passenger leg well cause no other room.

I grew up with 5 kids in a 2.5 bedroom house and one bathroom... any space I get that is private is better than that lol. I was debating getting the LW cause I have two friends who are considering coming to Prime but want to ride with me first. Not sure if I could put up with either of them on mY truck though lol

I'm 6'4 and had no issues with the lightweight. The international has a lot more room and storage than the cascadia (I drove the cascadia).

Biggest issue if you are keeping the passenger seat (and I did as my wife came out on the road with me a couple of times) is no fridge. You can fit a cooler though.

I sleep with the net on because I don't want to go through the windshield in an unexpected stopping event. I didn't use it in training though, maybe I'm just scared of my wife's driving lol. She doesn't use it.
