Clean Your Sleeper.

Just a friendly reminder, clean your sleeper before you drop it off ar the shop. My dad is a shop supervisor for Ryder and he bad a couple trucks dropped off recently for service and the mechanics need to be in the sleeper and they where absolutely disgusting.

Treat it like your having company at your house, you wouldn't leave dirty clothes, urine jugs, condom wrappers, animal waste, dirt and grime laying around your living room if you know someone is coming over. Why do it when expecting someone to work on the truck?

Also, just because your truck isn't dropped off for something related to the sleeper doesnt mean a mechanic doesnt have to enter it. One of the trucks he had in the shop was in for a PM and needed a campaign for something in the sleeper, so a mechanic entered then promptly left since it was so bad.

Good advice (not that I would need it, haha).

Here's some added advice in the Clean Cab department. Not to do with the sleeper, but your dashboard. To a DOT officer, a clean dash (which they can easily see as they walk up to your truck) means an organized driver. An organized driver will have all their ducks in a row, all the paperwork at hand, and most probably a good PTI.

If the officer sees map books, soda cups and or bottles, and other trash on your dash, you can expect an arbitrarily deeper inspection.

What do you know about sleepers???

How often to you get inspected?

They make it hard to look out the back window and see the trailer!

The sad part is those that need to hear this wont listen since a pig is a pig regardless. The rest of us care enough and have enough self respect that we keep our "home" clean anyways. One could enter my truck anytime without notice without being grossed out (even with my dog). I picked up a company truck while mine was getting serviced that was at a dealer, it was NASTY, I needed a shower after being in it for an hour. Couldn't get enough hand sanitizer. The 3/4s of a gallon of semi frozen urine on the floor in front of the bunk was topping on the nastiness cake.

Mikey B., I realize this truck you picked up may have just been a short-term loaner but still..... do you have any right of refusal?

I have 4 windows in my sleeper, PLUS 4 extra doors.
