    Do you have a sleeper in your truck?

    Ours is the factory 72" sleeper on the Freightliner Columbia. We stay out 3-5 weeks at a time and have been in it for over three years now. More space would be nice but not necessary.

    Can anyone top this?

    If a truck is on a less than 75 status and is capable of making an on time pick up they will be offered the load. Expess center does not matter. I find the VRU to be more accurate than the Clink when checking express center status. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums
