    Update:

    It looks like a 36" sleeper is available as the smallest sleeper. You can actually fit quite a bit in if you are good with space/storgage managment; i believe total cubic feet is at least 78.

    2) YOu can't get a detroit in a peterbilt from the factory. Glider of course is a different story.

    I agree with you 100% here. I am driving a 03 Freightliner Classic and when it comes to turning radius they forgot to install that in this one lol... and im only pulling a 48' I wouldn't dare put a 53' behind this thing. I watched a guy in a stretched Pete like your talking about in PA try to get turned around and get into a dock one time. Took him almost 2 1/2 hours.


    To each his own right here brother... You know why those guys that drive those Petes put all those #### chicken lights all over them right????.......


    :biggrin_2559:To cover up all the ugly... j/k


    Just thought id take a minute to throw my 2 cents in here lol... Ya'll have a good day and be safe...


    Oh and by the way if the driver who started this thread wanted to buy a Pete why dosent he just go on EBay or Craigslist, Truck Paper ect. You can get them for cheap right now...

    I think if I was wanting a job driving a Peterbilt I would definitely look at Western Dist. Trans. They have some beautiful trucks and trailers to match. Someone prolly has to die and leave you that job though huh?

    Their entire fleet isn't Peterbilt. I've seen Volvo 780s, Lone Stars, and W900Ls in their fleet, as well. The one thing which puts me off from their trucks is that all the ones I've seen advertised for sale have 3.25 rears... bit short for my liking.
    There's a Western Dist. driver who parks his truck next the Walgreen's a block from my apartment every weekend. Every time I've talked to him, he told me they were hiring.
