I got back into a Waverunner this year. Forgot how much fun it is, until you hit a submerged boulder:sad:, its in the shop with $2400 of damage now. So my seasons done.

Dodge has the shortest cab to axle of all and I have NEVER slid my slider and I tow a bunch.

I think its all been explained very well, in short... 1. Crew Cab Sleeper conversion are NOT compliant. 2. Logging sleeper berth without a compliant sleeper is log falsification and will get put out of service and a ticket. 3. Logging off duty and sleeping in your truck will get you the...

Any doubts? Call them or a fed dot office. This is why the CCS will never be legal, they don't give out written approvals.

Its really a shame, in the end they are forcing driver to cheat more and rest less. Instead of grabbing a spot in a rest area and sleeping you now have to find a place to hide and get a nap. And lets face the facts the industry doesn't really pay enough to justify going to double eagle and...

I think a crafty inspector could get on this: (c) Exit from the berth. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, there must be a direct and ready means of exit from a sleeper berth into the driver’s seat or compartment. If the sleeper berth was installed on or after...

Hmmm.....I have a $77,000 Carriage behind my short bed truck right now going to a dealer inKyle, Tx. Also the dot doesn't approve anything the just make the rules. Double Eagle, Roadmaster and so on make sleeper that are dot compliant. As long as your "sleeper" meets the requirements there is...

Nope.

You got it. Next time I deliver to Florida I am to" log off duty Busch Gardens Tampa, Fl" since I'm a coaster junkie!

Yes, its becoming a problem. I have st Indiana, Iowa, Wyoming, Minnesota, and North Dakota are some of the actively using the regulation and ticketing drivers. Seems the have figured out we are good sources of revenue.

Here is how they get you and say no to sleeping in your truck. As an example the regulations states" any time spent in or upon a CMV other then time behind the wheel or in a legal sleeper berth compartment is considered on duty not driving." Therefore, sleeping in the back seat or in the bed...

This warning was for the guys that spent $2000 or so for the kit to convert there back seat. Btw sleeping in a p/u if your commercial is illegal. You can be fined if caught even if you are logged off duty and of course logging sleeper berth is out of the question. Nope the real sleepers like...

The Feds deemed the CCS conversion NOT a compliant sleeper!!! Here is an email from them. Please pass this info along to any towing websites, lets try to prevent any of our friends and other haulers from getting put out of service and being fined! From: Tyson Labbe...

Nothing right now my truck is broke. Its supposed to be pulling a 34ft 5th wheel to Longmont, Co.

Thanks, sounds like you need one of these. Expensive though. I know the shocker is cheaper but no WD and w/ a 37ft TT I think you prob need it. Its about $1000, made by air safe.
