Who hires the BIG sleepers?

We also looked into Southern pride. They do run singles but was told it would be a lot of Boeing 777 engines from OH-to Boeing in Seattle. We haul cars terminal to terminal with POV's and also service auctions, dealers and new car ports. We do mostly CA-TX freight so it works out well. Ill never go back to a small sleeper again

 

Longhaul trucking takes big sleepers and takes steps with conestoga kits.

 

I have issues with backing?
News to me.

Hey, try not to be such a #### to strangers.

Why..uh..why can't they just overnight that? We talking large turbine frames, here?

Just saw...Who are you leased to, again, at the moment?

 

Go big or go home!

 

Big sleepers miss a lot of good paying loads because they can't haul the weight. if they do open deck with the added weight if chains, binders and tarps..Steer tires are very costly, The front axle needs to be at minimum a 16,000 lb axle . Nothing is cheap with a big sleeper. You just save on motel bills.
I suggest you actually talk to some O/O's with the large sleepers and get it first hand. Also of the problems you might or I should say will encounter is your truck is too darned big to get into some customers with out taking a half a day. City runs will be nothing but a head ache with turns and narrow streets. . Why hot buy a regular sized truck, run it for a year or so, save your money, then have your truck redone to your liking. Kiev in KY does a great job. Stands behind his work. I regret I did not have my Century stretched 4 feet.

 

If you're buying a big sleeper, make sure the truck is CA compliant. I ran across a S/P driver the other day who was selling his truck to buy a new one to be compliant.
