Sleeper Cab: A sleeper cab is a semi tractor with a sleeping compartment behind the driver’s seat, used for long-haul trucking.
Why it matters to owner operators
A sleeper lets you rest on the road and run regional and over-the-road lanes, but it costs more to buy and operate.
Example
A driver runs a cross-country load, using the sleeper berth for the required rest periods.
