Trunk tractors - was there always a berth in the cab?

Who among you has not seen the series "Truckers"? Of course, every lover of technology will like it when KAMAZ is in the lead role. According to this and similar feature films, it may seem that the work of a trucker is sheer romance. But this is far from true.

Long hours behind the wheel can cause chronic disease or eye fatigue. Therefore, any additional comfort that manufacturers can offer is always accepted by drivers with a bang. For example, in the new models of the same KAMAZ line, a flat floor will be installed. Experienced road heroes are sure that with such a design, fatigue in the legs and spine will become much less.

It is impossible to go on a trip stretching for hundreds of kilometers and several days without a partner. This is necessary not only because of physical fatigue, but also in order to ensure traffic safety. When one sits at the steering wheel, the other can rest in peace. This means that the sleeping bag should provide the free driver with the most comfortable sleep.

Understanding this, they try to make the recreation area more spacious and comfortable using orthopedic mattresses. But it was not always so. The evolution of the sleeping bag and unexpected places for its installation are described in an informative video on the Autofact Mountain channel. Watch this video and you will definitely learn something new.
