    I need to have that done.

    A customer made the outrageous request of me last week to blindside back my loaded flat bed through a gate into a small holding yard. Even worse was I had to do it across a short, narrow bridge to accomplish the task.

    Worst minute of my life.

    I have been looking for used extended sleeper trucks for sale and they seem to be as rare as lips on a chicken in the secondary market. Does anyone know where they can be found?

    The cheapest one is $282,000. I doubt I’ll be upgrading anytime soon. They didn’t have any used ones.

    You can always check with North American Terminals,Ft Wayne In comes to mind,and other known big sleeper outfits, Reliable in Canton Mi. Put the word out, maybe find an O/O looking to upgrade.A Reliable O/O near Me just sold. 98 Pete. Very nice Truck asking $38 k. It was very tempting.Theyre out there.
