Sleeper Floor
The other day Bob and I were both getting dressed at the same time and I realized that neither of us where thinking about it, but both of movements coordinated with what the other was doing. Neither was interfering with the others movements and each of us was getting dressed for the day at the same pace.
In 2000 when we first entered trucking full time and gone from the house a month at a time we did not have the moves. When we were new to living in a small area one would get dressed, make dinner, put their shoes on, while the other stayed in bed or in the front seats. Even our Cocker Spaniel Molly learned to stay out of the way until we were settled into our respective areas.
Now after many years on the road and living in our truck for months at a time the dance has became very intricate and precise. We have a bigger sleeper then we did when we started which I thought made all of the difference in the world. What surprised me though was when our truck was down for damages caused by a car rear-ended us we moved into an OEM sleeper and had no trouble modifying our dance. We quickly changed our movements and the fluency continued.
The "dance" goes on 24 hours a day and what makes it very easy to live in an area over 300 days a year that is smaller than many peoples walk in closets.
