  2. Runics on September 6, 2022 at 4:40 am

    Idk why but sleeping while going down the interstate or while its pissing rain outside is so damn bliss

  3. Amleth on September 6, 2022 at 4:40 am

    Genuinely looks like heaven to me

  4. chickenbuttdeluxe on September 6, 2022 at 4:44 am

    Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence." "I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever." "The wages that sin pays are death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

  12. Dustin Richards on September 6, 2022 at 4:52 am

    Why are you playing a snes? So stupid

  13. DirtRoad 57Chevy on September 6, 2022 at 4:54 am

    Not telling you how loud it is when other trucks going by in and out of truck stops all night and day and your truck is not running 🤔

  14. Roy Lomeli on September 6, 2022 at 4:55 am

    Great video! Makes me feel warm and cozy!

  15. Obomba BeenLaid on September 6, 2022 at 4:58 am

    I used to drive Uber all waking hours and sleep in my Corolla. When people think of sleeping in the car, they think of backseat which is the worst way to sleep in your car. I would sleep with seat leaned as far back as it would go. One pillow under my hear and other under my arm and under 2 or 3 blankets. It’s better than you think!

  16. Seth on September 6, 2022 at 4:59 am

    he said “when it’s driving even more soothing probably” lol no my friends from 1st hand experience it is not, takes 5 hours to get 3 hours of sleep 😑

  17. Jack Gordon on September 6, 2022 at 4:59 am

    I’m sure truckers will think I’m nuts but I’ve wondered for years what it’s like to live on the road , just how those big cabs are on the inside, if they’re comfortable or not. Now I know!

  18. Thomasina Parks on September 6, 2022 at 5:01 am

    Only thing you missing is a bathroom

  19. Seriously You jest? on September 6, 2022 at 5:02 am

    My last two years in business and roadshows I started sleeping in my Toyota. It was better, snd more comfortable than those express deal, express shit rooms they gave you. “ oh, your Priceline “ became quite interesting.

  20. Badazz on September 6, 2022 at 5:04 am

    I use to work for a trucking company I fixed and maintained their trailers but I lived 40 miles away so when it snowed I’d sleep in a truck idling all night it was some great sleep

  21. Fabian pachołek on September 6, 2022 at 5:05 am

  22. Brenda Mason AKA Grandma on September 6, 2022 at 5:05 am

  23. Didier N. on September 6, 2022 at 5:06 am

  28. 1990Ravens on September 6, 2022 at 5:09 am

    Only thing that would suck is having to get up to pee.

  29. Juozas Čepulis on September 6, 2022 at 5:10 am

    Imagine playing eurotruck simulator in truck after work with truck 😀

  30. Kermit_Neck_Rope on September 6, 2022 at 5:14 am

    Anyone know what companies have these? Gonna get my CDL here soon.

  31. Brian O'Banion on September 6, 2022 at 5:15 am

    I have a harder time adjusting to sleeping at home actually.

  32. Phil Hobrla on September 6, 2022 at 5:15 am

    Curious as to why the Hotel Roanoke parking lot is the location for this. Guessing it’s because the Volvo Trucks plant is nearby in Dublin, VA.

  33. darren richings on September 6, 2022 at 5:15 am

    Well no shit when they get u a top notch Volvo it’s not bad

  34. theletterk on September 6, 2022 at 5:16 am

  38. STAR58 on September 6, 2022 at 5:19 am

    I always slept great , warm in winter and ice cold in summer . Even when high winds or southern downpours at night rocked and pelted the truck I was sleeping gooood. Those 7 hours came up too fast ..

  39. Ryan Jurassic on September 6, 2022 at 5:20 am

    Where did you get that hand held Super Nintendo?

  40. Melody Thom on September 6, 2022 at 5:21 am

    When I’m on the road I tune into R.C Blake’s. .you can subscribe on utube. . .Jennifer leclaire is another, can’t wait to get my coffee and hang out with her.. . She gets me off and running.

  41. Serene Sleep on September 6, 2022 at 5:22 am

    Most everything except….. Where’d you pee at might????

  42. Mr. Morozov on September 6, 2022 at 5:26 am

    I remember when my dad got out of the Marines he used to take with him on long hauls when I had no plans… Best moments of my life

  43. Shanna Worth on September 6, 2022 at 5:27 am

    I have like an older sleeper like 19’90s it only has a bed

  44. VivifyProductions on September 6, 2022 at 5:28 am

    I feel so sleepy while watching this, I feel like I need that truck now

  45. Zachary Alejandro on September 6, 2022 at 5:29 am

    Damn. When I heard that these rigs have the usb for the old gaming systems and (probably) one of the newer systems, my jaw literally dropped. I know these big rigs aren’t made for just driving around, but it would be awesome if so. Sucks that putting the money for gas is not the best right now but I’d love to hitch a ride on one of these bad ass of a truck

  46. Amanda Handfield - Jones on September 6, 2022 at 5:33 am

  47. Jerry Addison on September 6, 2022 at 5:35 am

    Is there a restroom?

  48. Mark on September 6, 2022 at 5:35 am

    Cam you also control the climate from the driver’s seat or is it only from the bed

  49. royal crown towing on September 6, 2022 at 5:35 am

    Try spending 6 week in a car hauler where one of the vehicles is on top of the roof hanging over the hood and one vehicle is behind the cab so the cabs are short so you can fit a car behind it
    I took out the passenger seat to make space and I have a cabinet with fridge microwave and coffee maker
    I have a custom APU system that powers an portable AC unit in summer and a 1500 watt heater in winter

  50. Rodingliana Sailo on September 6, 2022 at 5:37 am

    That kinda sound like bleepy
