Stretched 379 Too Long For Reefer/Van?

True. I was thinking stretched with a big bunk. Our guys pulling one of our climate trailers empty are around 54k. I'm 50,500 empty with a Volvo 780 standard cab

 

MC VanKampen hauls produce and their trucks look like really long wheelbase. Look at them on their website. Do any of you ever see them on the road?

 

Van kampen see em all the time on 80. Not 379s though. Mostly KW aero trucks. They look good too.

 

Just passed one here on I 10 yesterday in California. It look like a regular Kenworth 680.

 

Those big bunks arent as heavy as many think. Most of the guys i know with relatively new ones are only a couple thousand heavier than the guys running big w9s here.

 

Short answer. Yes!

 

Search for Richie Acosta on YouTube
Has a black pete probably 350" and he runs around nj ny ma ct etc. with it. There is also another (I think his friend) don't know name- but has a red w900L that iirc he built it longer by 1". Lol

 

Check out Project 350. Richie runs the northeast and has been to the same places I have to go to. Unless the space is physically smaller than the truck, these guys get in just as easily.

Few guys I load up with every Friday have 300 to 330 inch WB with a 53' spread. They know how much room they need and make it happen.

Plus the longer WB rides better. Eventually I'll stretch mine to 275. Not sure I want a lifetime membership to the "cool kids" club.

 

The more strecth the more Self imposed limits,
