The introduction of the conventional sleeper trucks comes from rather humble, nondescript origins. Manufacturers, recognizing that an increasing number of truck drivers were spending more and more time on the road away from home, for weeks at a time in some cases, decided that an addition to the cabin area would be of benefit to drivers. Standard day cabs quite simply didn't provide the space drivers needed when the drive was done for the day. Thus, the first conventional sleeper trucks were introduced.

The first sleeper trucks were crude, small areas (18" to 24"), with no real thought of comfort initially, just functionally available. Somewhere for the driver to stretch out a bit to get some semblance of rest.

The more conventional sleeper trucks were introduced about the time the Department of Transportation (DOT), as a safety measure, set limits to the hours per day a driver could be on the road. With these limits in place, drivers petitioned truck manufacturers to improve sleeper trucks to accommodate the drivers increased "rest" periods off the road.

Today, conventional sleeper trucks are ultra-modern, being likened to RVs in their comfort, convenience, and functionality drivers enjoy. Base sleeper truck models now range in size from 36" up to an amazing 230".

Custom sleeper cabins can provide drivers with all the comforts of home - all lying right behind the driver's seat. Quite naturally, these trucks can vary widely from truck to truck, with the number and quality of options often predicated on driver's budget and personal preferences.
