That sleeper cab- wow guys, just wow! That bohemian-style bed cover accented with plain single-color pillow covers-pure creative genius. Heather you know you'd make a great interior designer had you not been in the trucking world. This is how a sleeper cab should be. Great job guys! 👍

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

amin nabam Thanks so much Amin!

[@billmoran3812]

Love the sleeper. Having a sink, and the freezer makes life much more pleasant. I've lived in a conventional OTR rig, wished I had such a nice living space.

[@modeverything9949]

Bill Moran it makes a world of difference.

[@katiekamm89]

Awesome channel! My husband has his CDL and his ultimate plan is for me to get mine and travel America once our son goes to college! You definitely make it looks nice!

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Katie Kamm we love it. Trucking really is perfect for husband wife teams.

[@robertaustin7757]

I sure miss these guys . Two awesome people. I hope you are prospering and safe.

[@barbarageiman2364]

So happy I found you guys! Bought the let’s truck and my lease truck is the same model mins the water heater and spiffy fan...😉 hopefully over the next 2 yrs I sock some cash away, learn lots of do’s and do nots and all of us will enjoy the ride! Safe travels

[@ericlietsch994]

Thanks for sharing those neat ideas. Please be safe.

[@bonespiel]

Alright alright alriiiiiiight !! You are very welcome !! I have always liked these trucks ever since they came out with them !! I do the bus driving for the public schools and I drive a 2017 C2 Saf T Liner and it rides pretty good !! I'd like to drive one of these babies !!!

[@doktorjfeelgood]

"Fantastic fabulous video guys'.. It's fantastic to see a couple working & gigging this gig together..If you guys can live & work in this small together.. You e got it made.. My lady & I spent 8-9 years on the road in a space smaller than that..& even though at times it was stressful.. It was the best time ever.. We're still on the road.. But we live in something much bigger these days.. "Stay Safe - Drive Safe..😎🌞😊😎

[@MrGregger43]

Wow you guys are clean. Really take pride in your stuff .

[@Jeh110]

Love "cameo" appearances of the fur babies! Your truck looks good.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

J. Palmer Thank you! She's the real star 😉

[@SAS-wm2gm]

J. Palmer Oh yeah. I love how excited Emmy was when you talked to her. That little tail really got going. I thought she might do what my little fur baby would do...his little tail would wag so hard, his tiny butt would sway back and forth with the wagging of his tail. 🐱🐈🐕🐩.

[@omnicoreinc]

They seem like really nice happy people. bless you guys

[@maconmiles2057]

Nice Truck. It is always cool to see the ideas people come up with in their trucks.

[@julievestal914]

This video is very well done. I have used some of your storage ideas in our truck. One thing my husband is particular about and really makes a stand on is that anything that is heavy or could become a missile in the event of an emergency stop or accident has to be behind a cabinet door. For us, that means we store clothing and lighter items in the upper bunk area and canned goods, appliances, and other heavy items in the cabinets. That can be a pain in the rear when you have to drag them out to use them but I guess it is safer. I hope our next truck has cabinets in place of that upper bunk but, like Jason, I wonder if we'll lose storage space or have trouble finding things.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Julie Vestal Thank you Julie! That makes a lot of sense to store heavier items in cabinets. Our next truck will have cabinets instead of the bunk. Bolt does make a conversion that they will take the bunk out and put cabinets but it costs around $2800.

[@m3rkgaming683]

Awesome vid upload.Love your setup..Its really nice 👍.Thanks for sharing your life with us.Stay safe on the roads

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Swartz Things Thank you & Merry. Christmas

[@YogawithReva]

It’s so majestic!!!

[@soldiermike6ft259]

Good jobs, guys. Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed watching. #ThumbsUp

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

SoldierMike6ft2 Thanks so much :)

[@jaiengore2908]

Man I do miss driving a semi! I drove with my late husband. We always drove a Freightliner and we had it stocked (meaning a portable toilet, shower, mini crockpot, microwave, tv and so much more! I even cooked a roast (completely with carrots, onions and potatoes) the motor! We didn’t have the cabinets like y’all, it was just factory built.

[@arthorwed3172]

your very organized. and great ideas thanks

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Art Horwed Thank you Art :)

[@cybellaRob]

Awesome truck. Very impressed. 👍

[@teamstr259]

Thanks for sharing. My only issue with using the top bunk for storage. God forbid if you ever had a wreck all that stuff would become projectiles. So i guess that would be a huge plus side on having cabinets.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

teamstr259 Thanks! That is definitely a concern we may put some sort of net up there if we don’t take the bunk out and put cabinets.

[@champagnesylvie-lavieenfra1378]

*hello* ohhhhh ! great stuff ! I don't have the words! sooo nice!

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

great video that looks awesome

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

dokmanian michael Thanks :)

[@NON_BIDENary]

She's a beauty!!!!!

[@NON_BIDENary]

Just curious guys , does that cab style come with a shower/bathroom? If so was there any reason you didn't want it ? (I.e prone to leaks , more weight) I gotta ask , I'm a bigboy 6'5 370lbs , I told u B4 thinking of doing this w/the wifey! She's a lil bitty 5foot nothing Asian lady so she'd fit in the damn glovebox if need be BUT ME AND HER or hell me alone in that bed looks like a tight fit or some yoga lessons may be in my future lol is there bigger bed options or do both you All fit comfy ok !! Noticed the bunk above , I could sleep on bottom and wifey on top but hey what the hell happens if we get time off and wanna get frisky 😂💦💦💦

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

PopsAndAlly Thanks! You could do the toilet/shower combo in this size sleeper with an under counter fridge. The first truck we drove had a 96" ARI sleeper with the toilet/shower combo. It was ok but the shower was small and so was the fridge. You could always get a larger sleeper and do a smaller box. The bed is fine for us but like JW said being 6'5" your not going to be able to stretch out fully. Hope everything is good in sunny San Diego! :)

[@billfitzpatrick6910]

Yeah , and the truck is good lookin' as well ! :-)

[@coewoe]

Gorgeous!

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Shami Basar Thanks :)

[@liziepuma2982]

thank you i hope to go to trunking school in april and i will use some of your ideas when i go on the road

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

We wish you all the best!!

[@sharongypsydove6080]

Definitely know that Landstar emblem even if it is covered up.. I had a hino with a 98 sleeper.. I love all the space I have and I do agree with you about having the cupboards above the upper bunk were such a pain in the butt to get out anything... I had the double closets on the one side Where your one closet and refrigerator are with a little tiny side covered and then on the side where your sink is where my sink was on 1 side in my refrigerator was on the other.. My bunk on the bottom didn't lift up so that was one thing I wish it did do... But I have a friend Who has the sleeper with the actual shower and potty in it

[@Justcooling2021]

Beautiful Truck,Congratulations keep up the Good Work..👍🏼

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Wayne T Thank you :)

[@maicabentivoglio8304]

Great idea on the hooks, as for me I rather have much less items around, am a minimalist, lol. As for the water being hot, it did not matter to me, and as for the table I did not really use it. I like things to be fixed no moving stuff around, to just relax, eat, work, or just drive.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Thanks :)

[@chandrahermon2866]

You have a castle so nice and clean I love it ,one in a million

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Chandra Hermon Thanks a bunch :)

[@tranz15]

wow that put my old 03 frieghtliner FL-80 96" alumni bunk to shame .. ohh how i miss driving it for tri-state logged 1,026,000 miles before i had to give it up i loved it and hated it at the same time looking back so many fond memories as well as headaches

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

tranz15 👍

[@mkazilakwamchilloh3563]

You guys are fantastic I'm eighteen wheeler driver but love the box truck with a sleeper

[@nordsea_283]

What a great truck/home. Very cool.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Chris Collins thanks

[@mikephillips4075]

Sweet setup!!!

[@tbird4evr]

Very nicely organized! I often wonder what the Drivers of say 30-40 years ago think of all this technology in your truck. Everywhere you look there is more tech stuff. Like most things I suppose,Trucking sure has changed over the years. Be safe Drivers!

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Timothy Kunze Thank you Timothy! I wonder that sometimes myself .. they probably think we are all spoiled now. 😉Take care :)

[@gord2358]

Awesome setup! Gord, Vancouver

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Gord Stone Thanks Gord :)

[@davidpacholski7144]

Nice ride guys!!!

[@Gonzo614]

When you decide to change the sink might I suggest going to a RV parts recycler. You should be able to get the bigger sink with covers.

[@AmonRa9Divine]

I love this truck.

[@ridgec5670]

Great video and truck!

[@lizchilders4154]

Wow! The lap of luxury! Just started watching you all the other day. You have provided me a whole new, and better perspective on truckers and the trucking industry. You are very professional. Keep up the good work and safe travels.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Liz Childers Thanks a bunch Liz! We love our sleeper. Definitely helps us to stay on the road longer :)

[@Blackdogoutdoors]

That sleeper must really make being away from home a bit easier. I noticed you have the same gallon jug I do for my ice tea! Ok, back to the truck, it's really beautiful and set up perfectly. You guys should be really proud of that ride, not to mention going from a ( for lack of a better term) company driver to O/O! That is a goal many of us drivers have and never reach, congratulations...u guys deserve it for all your hard work and sacrifice out on the road. Love to the babies, and my favorite expediter team...safe travels and keep the shinny side up.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

David Lamy Thank you so very much David 😊 And we love that tea jug!

[@bonzoschlacendaker1057]

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home / office. I knew from the moment the curtain Drew back that you were good Folk. From your adorable puppy to the bedspread and the way everything was laid out and decorated I would have been proud to call that home! I believe you to have restored my faith in mankind to a good degree. Any concern about having to stop fast in the contents of the top bunk being airborne? I'm sure you folks maintain plenty of space in front I've been a professional driver myself for many years and know how small annoying objects can suck up your breaking space very quickly and then do things that no human should. All the same I give you all a 10! God's blessings on you both, I'll be looking for future videos.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Bonzo Schlacendaker Thank you very much! It is a concern with the items on the top bunk for sure.

[@SurvivalistMedia]

Lovely sleeper

[@robertmccabe2993]

Beautiful Truck you guys do a great job keep on trucking

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Robert McCabe Thank you 😊

[@davidpoole3886]

Hi folks good to see you take care and keep on trucking god bless.

[@smokey8764]

Wow amazing

[@TruckerStorm]

Awesome

[@ladyartistejte4076]

Hi you could buy wire baskets at Home Depot so u can install it on TOP of your TOP bunk and that way you can have a better organization and you can still see all ur things plus you will be able to maximise the storage more by having wore baskets in different heights there :)

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

TOURISTE -JL- Hi there :). Thank so much for the tip!

[@danielkennedy7845]

nicely done!!!

I worked at the Mt holly plant for 25 years. Built thousands of those trucks.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

John Nelson Very cool!

[@Roobah]

Not a wasted square inch. Nice use of tiny utilitarian items that FIT and look to be very functional. You must really like TA gadgets for shopping.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Roobah Thank you :)

[@makatron]

You guys are awesome

[@danielkennedy7845]

WOW nice machine! nice job! I want one!

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Daniel Kennedy Thanks!

[@CreativeComander]

Very good Concept

[@jeffsizer9359]

Last night I viewed the video you made for your 2019? 2020? truck. Huge difference between that and this. I didn't see the bathroom/shower in this one. I do like the bunk storage in this one. That's a lot of space up there. I do agree with Heather it looks like the new truck has a longer counter top space.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

It’s a 2 ft difference in counter space. That’s huge in these trucks

[@pjt3887]

Safe travels and cute dogs.

[@independentthinker9113]

Nice!

[@bonzoschlacendaker1057]

Evening folks, after I got your reply to my reply I thought of something you might want to think about using in your overhead bunk, a little item called "cheesecloth". It's a fine netting that I use over the furnace duct in each room to catch any little bits the furnaces filter missed. I've only seen it in white. You could attach one end of it to either the top or the bottom of the bunk front area. Then take the other end of the material, roll it, and attach it to a 3/8 in. diameter wood dowel that could clip into place. It may not stop heavy items from flying about but it certainly would slow them down. Lighter things, not a problem, it would be like an arresting cable on an aircraft carrier. I live in earthquake country so I'm used to figuring out how to keep things where they belong. You folks seem to be truly ingenious in the way you have made your home both lovely and practical. I'm sure that you'll come up with something better than cheesecloth but perhaps it's a starting point. Thank you again, Bonzo.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Bonzo Schlacendaker Thank you Bonzo, that is a really great idea using cheesecloth! We never even thought about that as a solution. We eventually would like to remove the top bunk and add cabinets. We just have to find the time to do that. Take care & have a good week :)

[@deandremahadeo9559]

Great video.. I'm with the same company and looking for another truck... some awesome ideas I could implement. keep up the good work guys.

[@josephdavis5589]

Love the dogs

[@davidhartman6279]

[@beloved13x67]

i am very proud of you Guy's, i have been looking at your vids fir a min. how di i get started started, keep up the good work.

[@andremcclanahan4015]

I started my own delivery company. Using my own car and mini van right now. This would be great for a starter fir what I’m trying to do. I would also use some Freightliner m2 26 and vans. Well that’s my dream. Pack-N-Go

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

That’s awesome! We wish you all the best :)

[@pauljohansson7697]

Nice rig guys .

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Thank you

[@Kamofy]

That there is a nice freightshaker! I drive a sprinter for Fedex Custom Critical. Good money.

[@TheCraftyTrucker]

Kamofy Thanks! Very cool you be safe :)

[@reflectivepurpose293]

@Kamofy... I am researching FedEx as well... we shall see! I don't want to drive a straight truck especially if I have other options such as sprinter van.

[@Kamofy]

NOMADIC Zodiac the sprinter is a great option BUT the money is not as great as a straight from what I've been told. The nice thing about sprinter is that I can go visit any location like tourist hot spots in whatever city I'm sent to, unlike a semi. Be prepared to wait on loads though as some cities have a ton of vans and it's sometimes difficult to get a load. I'm considering contracting with a second expedite company simultaneously to reduce my down time or have to run empty.

[@reflectivepurpose293]

Kamofy thanks for your response.... keep me posted on how things are going... I have gotten my paperwork done for All State and XPO thus far.... I'm not seeing anything for other companies right now for some reason.... I'm in NC and I thought I could get in pretty quickly but maybe not. I'm thinking my last resort would be straight truck😏

[@reflectivepurpose293]

Incoming Logistics my energy is geared towards sprinter van but the universe is yelling "straight truck" 😁😎😉

[@rayvalentine3706]

Nice truck 👍
