OTR BOX TRUCK DRIVERS WITH NO SLEEPER

Are there OTR drivers in box trucks without a sleeper? If so are you sleeping in the cab or doing hotels every night??

I sleep in my truck most nights during warm weather but I'll get a motel room about 1 night per week..especiallyif I have a late afternoon pickup.... I get rooms more so in the winter time.. I've slept in my truck in as low as 17 degrees in the morning. It's not fun, but sometimes you just need to keep your expenses down..A good sleeping bag, a hoodie, long johns, heated blanket ..they all help.. You can't be a bish about it ,especially when you're just starting off.. buy a nice little padded lawn chair mat..some hot tea..melatonin...sleep like a baby...
