    They have a coffin sleeper so you can sleep in the truck.

    To make them lighter they are shorter in length and height. I am 6'4" and I can't stand completely upright in them. Also if you've seen OTR trucks before, there is no room for cabinets. The bunk is right up against the back of the seats. There is still storage. I carry clothes, some food and even have a tv mounted but that's it. I'll take a pic of the bunk.

    LB thanks that clears it up a little. now do all regional routes drive trucks like that or do some drive the bigger trucks? i am all about doing a regional but i love the idea of the bigger truck.

    The only regional guys that have bigger trucks are trainers. They aren't letting regional guys train any more but some are grandfathered in. We drive the smaller trucks so they can put more weight in the trailer. Most of my loads are over 49,000 lbs. you can't do that in an over the road truck.

    I get to sleep in my own bed on weekends and some nights during the week so I don't mind the smaller bunk.

    The waiting list can be between a few weeks to a few months.

    Most weeks we haul beer out of the brewery then work loads that get us back to the brewery.
