Hi, Thanks everyone for the responses..

It's been quite a long while since i've been on here reading and what not.

I ended up getting a Maroon Freightliner Cascadia with a 144" sleeper on it.. In fact if you get a chance holler at me when you see me on the road.

Driving it really isn't much different from a regular truck, tho it is longer and slightly heavier. I've had no issues "YET" with parking.. ok.. that's a lie.. lol.. The Flying J in Dallas, Tx is the only place I have a problem.. I just don't trust other drivers to park next to me.

Anyways, thanks again and be safe.

P.S. im pretty sure you've seen the truck,, if not you will..
