Top Sleeper

Just curious.... why do companies have a " no sleeping in the top bunk while driving" policy?

Wendy, I'm gonna say that you didn't do so well in physics class!

When your co-driver hits the brakes real hard going about seventy miles an hour with you in that top bunk it's not gonna feel real well when you get impaled on that gear shift!

LOL!! You would be correct there. My college professor couldn't wait for me to leave his class. Thanks for the remedial concept.

Trust me. You don't wanna be up there. It's not just braking that would totally suck. Every little bump and sway gets magnified in he sleeper berth. In the top bunk it's magnified even more. Picture a ball tied to a string being swung in a circle. The distance and speed the ball is traveling is way greater than the string where it's being held. Same thing applies to the top bunk.

Also, look up some videos of trucks striking low bridges. You definitely don't want to be in the top bunk when that happens.

Not to mention..... rollovers!

Well dang; that doesn't sound like too much fun .

So, how do you all amuse yourselves when your driving? I'm not trying to be a smart ass.... I just like to have fun with whatever I'm doing :)

Usually radio/satellite radio. Rarely CB.

You want to limit distractions, it only takes a second of inattention to be involved in a wreck.

You know watch TV, put it on cruise and tie a rope on the steering wheel, go make a sandwich, texting. Really the truck drives all by itself. JK!

Radio, CB, be bopping to the tunes, looking at the surroundings, talk on the phone.... be careful any and all of these can cause you to lose focus. That is when very bad things happen.

I ponder as to why that bug did what he just did.

Smiles Winerasrer and Scott... So, here's what I have concluded. After interacting with everyone and getting a highly valuable an much needed perspective, I have decided that as much as would love the road, I am much too social. I can see me in my mini skirts, heels and wondering where to get my nails filled at. I'm not sure my personality is conducive to you alls life style.

But hey, thanks for all your genuine comments and insights.

Peace out all!
