Where do tanker drivers sleep

I’ve never thought about this till now. You’re right. They’re like 10 hour break ninjas.

 

A lot of tanker work is out and back.
When i ran regional usually tried staying at the customer when possible, most of my runs were boarder line turnable. But did spend 10s at truck stops or service plazas. Also a lot of tank co. Pay for hotels

 

I'm at pilot or FJ most nights. I guess they're aren't as many of us as vans.

 

10/ 34 at home .........1/2 hour under protest while at customer or shipper...

 

I sleep at my home. In my bed. With my wife. Every day (wife works in daytime, I work nights. Makes for good sleeping)

 

most of the time it's at the tank wash, if not the terminal......

 

i drive milk tanker, home daily; but the company im with does have sleeper trucks. the furthest they go is ny to Wisconsin i believe. some of the transport drivers sleep out on the road but ALL of the farm pickup guys are home daily.

 

Sidenote, I just met one of your co-workers at Readington Farms in Whitehouse, NJ. He was running a dark green kw sleeper. Nice fella. I also just learned you guys are there at least twice a week. Never knew that till the other day when i backed in and your co. name was on the door. I was oh ####! What if @ad356 is here. Lol

 

We have nice trucks and trailers so we hide from them van drivers. I tend to stay at our shipper/recivers or in hiddy holes that Ive found over the years and I keep them a secret.
