I like to DO motel rooms and restaurants.

Besides... the boss pays for them.

Motels are good but it's gotten a little old. Sure the $65/night is at least partially offset by not having to idle your truck but that only applies to winter and summer. There are many, many nights in the spring and fall when nature supplies all the hvac that's needed and does it for free.

As we enter the winter slush season I think I'm going to like Motels even less.

But I have to add. I did a favor for my old boss last month and spent a week in a sleeper and I was claustrophobic and miserable the whole time. It's a freakin' closet you guys live in!!!

Mackman and Repete have it figured out. Sleep in your own bed.
