    My 2023 120" Freighty & reefer trailer can haul 40,000# max. But, the balance better be EXACTLY right. Especially running into Cali.

    So yes, I typically haul less than that. But, that is what my cap is. ✌

    If I had a sleeper like that, I wouldn't mind staying out for a year.

    Some of the lowlifes driving now can't be bothered to walk 50 ft to a restroom to piss. They would end up the holding tanks in the truck stop parking lot or driving the road.

    True! Some people have no self worth and don’t care about anyone else.

    If I had a truck like that I’d sell my house and stay on the road. But I have a wife to think about and what she needs after I’m gone. It’d be nice though!

    Some of those immigrant-only companies from either the middle east or the Indo-stani region cut holes in the floor of the sleeper and install a Turkish toilet or "squatty potty". I'm not joking, either.....

    A while back I saw a video on Youtube of a tow truck driver sent out to rescue one of the aforementioned species of humanoid.

    After taking a look under the truck, he left them there.

    Nothing prevents any truck driver from putting a camping toilet in his truck if he finds it's desirable. You are imagining all truck drivers to be as conscientious as you and civilized as you. That's not a safe assumption anymore. Imagine truck stop parking lots randomly splattered with human waste because drivers were too "busy" to visit a dump station. Not everyone would spend 30 seconds to be a good citizen.
