The level of comfort in American long-haul trucks

Connoisseurs of Soviet vintage cars remember well the trucks that didn't have even a hint of comfort, let alone a sleeping place.

The situation began to change dramatically only with the appearance of the MAZ-500.

In fact, this is exactly how things were. In all brands of bonnet trucks cars, produced in the USSR, did not have a sleeping place. It is interesting that the American auto industry followed a completely different policy. Figuratively speaking, American manufacturers believed that "a car is for a person", and not vice versa. Of course, modern models of our KAMAZ are also not inferior to overseas competitors either in the comfort of the driver's seat or as a "sleeper". But, the Americans put this system on stream.
