Not many. I prefer to sleep in a truck, I don't sleep as hard and I wake up much easier than I do in my own bed. This even applies when I go stay at someone else's house, hotel, or something like that.

Well for the record i drove other trucks besides dumps. Tankers and dry bulk. I did tankers for 2.5 years. The dry bulk company i worked for was local and OTR. I drive dumps now cuz it seems thats where i make the most money.

And there is alot of companies that have their own trucks(private fleets) that are sleepers and pay VERY WELL!
Even UPS has sleepers.
