Super single is also a type of tire.

I guess I knew what the OP was talking about because I had inquired about the same thing a while back.

Wow... thank you all for the wonderful ideas. Even the super-single tire response. lol And, yes, it's a matter of being thrown around in the bunk on the rough routes. Somewhat "normal" routes have us both sleeping like babies. We probably have a CASE of every earplug made now! And, we keep the radio/cb noise to a minimum when the other is in the bunk. We will try the airmattress - as that was a thought, but weren't too sure. KLLM has a great idea, and we're only staying with our present company to get experience, then hope to move to a better co. anyway. We'll definitely check into KLLM.
The 9/9 also sounds great, but our company schedules us to keep the wheels rolling, with really no time to stop. Showering, laundry, etc. has become another problem. When we do have a few hours shut down, we're both exhausted and have to decide between sleep/shower/a real meal/or laundry! The sleep always wins. :roll: When qualcom messages keep coming about so many company drivers getting into accidents (our co. only runs teams) we suggested to our safety manager about our problem, and could others be experiencing the same? But, this only brought a reply that other teams didn't have our problem. I find that hard to believe. Adjustment is definitely in order, but safe driving is a priority too.

Thank you, birdY... I've done a little research on them, but not enough. Need to check further. They ARE a local co. Seems Kingman is just out of reach of hiring for several co.'s - they can't "guarantee" home time. We don't mind being out for six to eight weeks at a time, but then... it's time to get home. :shock:
