If both are sleeping, one on top bunk and one on bottom. If they are driving and you are sleeping, you are on bottom bunk. You just use your own stuff and move it accordingly.

661584 发表于 2019-04-28 00:47:45 With a new trainee a trainer will not be sleeping while the new trainee is driving. That take a 10 hour break trainee sleeps on the top bunk trainer in his or her bunk. I’m not a coed trainer some company’s require the trainer to get a motel for the night. Then flip a coin to see who gets the room and who gets the truck

{"replyTo":"","text":"I'm a trainer. I dont go to the back for 2 weeks. That's my company policy. I sleep when the day is done. On my truck, the first week is speed control and staying between the lines. During that week that's ALL I focus on. If I cant trust the student to drive safely, aint nobody sleeping.","replyToPid":0}

664962 发表于 2019-04-27 13:25:16 I read that you can’t sleep in the top bunk while the truck is moving... does that mean we sleep in the same bed while the other guy is driving

","text":"As long as you’re training you should do ALL of the driving. Your trainer is required to be in the passenger seat. All breaks/off duty time will be taken by you both at the same time. \nThere may come a point down the road where your trainer feels confident enough to run like you’re a team. At that point you’ll have to sleep in the lower berth. ","replyToPid":22575}

664962 发表于 2019-04-27 13:23:34 How does the instructor help me but get the sleep he needs?

","text":"Depending on what company u go with. The truck should run as a solo for the first week or 2 depending upon your skill level “trainer decides this”. If ur good then the trainer will ask if u feel confident team driving. If ur not then u should run as a solo operation until either ur trainer feels like ur good enough or they boot u from their truck. \nGetting booted doesn’t necessarily mean ur a bad driver. Sometimes if student/trainer don’t get along the student can and should request a new trainer","replyToPid":22572}
