sleeper for?  I saw this and it piqued my curiosity.

Seeing it is from a truck driving school, would it be where new candidates were signed up or is it used for another purpose?  I've never seen one before and thought maybe one of you guys know for sure.

It will vary by operator. On some O/O rigs it might be a motorhome setup for complete independence. On a lot of freight  (and especially moving company trucks) it is extra cargo space.

If it looks like a sleeper it is, if it is a box where the side opens it is for extra  space. On my truck it was for extra cargo space.

 I understan It was built for a truck driving school as a promotional or advertising.  Then it was sold then painted white and the sleeper was removed and frame was shorter.

Thanks Anthony.  I wasn't sure but it made sense being from a truck driving school.  Thank you.
