I'm totally serious!! I don't remember what state he was in but he had no idea about the law until he got the ticket. He had to run to WM and get matching bed set.

How stupid! Did voters vote for this or did some whinnybutt wanted to to get this law passed? Who on earth will see a trucker's bed? With the mess many states are in it shows just what the politicians have on their list of priorities. This is where government goes too far. I would love to know what states these are. I have some emails to fire off. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

It was some NITWIT that had nothing else to do, I guess. My Dad travels all over the US so I have no idea where it was. I couldn't believe it when he told us.

This might help.

when my husband first started driving he could only have white sheets and pillowcases to match now he uses sleeping bags or quilts most of the time he has a doublebunk which seems to be like a queen only a little longer

Could you ask your dad if he knows what states this was in? I am curious because we do not have matching bedding, everyone brings their own, I think a queen size would be great, he could roll up in it or cover his head like was suggested before. I usually took a stocking cap along after my husband suggested it.

This is off-the-charts crazy! We all need sober, awake drivers on the road and police watching for that....not being the fashion police. My bedcovers don't match since I use multiple quilts that I love....but not in the same colors. May I please teach your child having slept last night in a mismatched bed or is that going to be a problem???????

I'm trying to not ask anything, since his 50th birthday is Jan 13th and I'd like it to be a surprise...so I asked you guys instead! He's a pretty slender 5'8" so I'm going to make it extra long and put 60" fleece on the back for extra snuggliness. I may also put batting inside for extra warmth. His rig is red, and we met in high school where the school colors were red and black, so a red, black and white color scheme is just a natural. I'm thinking of an oversized Friendship Star.....with maybe 33 stars for 33 years of friendship and then a couple of something else to round it out to 5 x 7 blocks with a border. Any other ideas?

If it wouldn't mess up the color scheme too much, use tan or gray instead of white.

Depending on what he was hauling and the schedule he had to keep, sometimes DH would just flop on top of the bunk - not get between the sheets. (Actually, sometimes he just took a nap with his head over the wheel - stopped first, of course) :?

my boyfriend is an over the road trucker also. I made him extra long twin with wool batting, it still wasn't warm enough. So I broke down and bought him one of those man made fiber blankets,almost like a velor, it feels nice in your fingers, 14.99 in JC Penny outlet. I got him beigh, he puts the beautiful wool quilt on top. Also, Tom can idle his engine when it is really cold.
