Hi all....


I am on my 3rd week out on the road.

While I really enjoy the sights, sounds, and drivin', the sleeping while my partner drives (I drive team) is a big challenge.

Is there any tricks that you teamers us?? can you throw some padding in there to keep you from bouncing around like a rag doll??

We were coming home on 20...and I thought i was gonna go thru the roof!!


Is there a way to put a hammick in there??

ANY ideas would help.....please.....gooottaaaa get some sleeppppp


thanks!

 

tell co-driver to try to miss a bump or two. the way someone drives has alot to do with it

 

dont you have a webing net on that bottom bunk to hold you in place if you co driver slams on the brakes?

 

I sleep better when the trucks moving than standing still. Don't understand the problem.
classicxl, I think new2road's problem is up and down movement, not fore and aft. BOL

 

well when i was training as a newbie and my trainer was driving which was not very often I used that strap and it kept you in place but you had to get use to it holding you down not much room to move around

 

I20 in Alabama? Its rough in a couple of spots regardless of what you do.

 

Do you get to decide when you want your partner to take over driving, or is there a certain time in which you switch? Chances are, after my shift was over I'd be so sleepy I'd fall asleep instantly in the back of the bed. If I was driving and I didn't feel tired, I'd keep on driving.

 

If the truck is really bouncing there could be a mechanical reason for it such as bad shocks, a busted air bag on the sleeper, air ride on the truck is set wrong for the type of loads you haul most, etc.

 

up and down bouncing in the cab can be very dangerous, I think thats where my twins came from :?

 

HAHAHAHAHA.
