Truckers are paid by the mile, not by the hour. When it's time to snooze, drivers need to be asleep instead of staring at the ceiling or the bottom of their eyelids. Insomnia can eventually become an safety issue if the trucker doesn't get enough rest.

Many owner operators who buy a semi truck have started teaming with their spouse or another trucker in order to maximize their earnings. With high fuel costs and a lingering recession, it's becoming harder and harder to make a profit in trucking. It can be very difficult take a nap on a moving semi truck even though it's becoming more of a necessity. Nevertheless, there are ways to make it possible to sleep in a moving vehicle.

Getting the Right Semi Truck Driver

If a rig has two drivers, the first thing is to make sure the partnering driver is somebody that who is trustworthy and easy to get along with. Nothing prevents sleep more than a trucker that can't be trusted or is somebody that's not likable. In the cramped quarters of a rig, a lot of stress induced insomnia can be prevented by picking a good partner.
