What’s Up With Extended Frames?

Maybe we should question the ability then of the drivers of short trucks....

 

53', 48' or pups?..... It matters if you're going into the city. Don't pretend like it doesn't. You know exactly what I'm saying. I'm gonna guess we've both been in that spot with a ratchet that we couldn't spin.

 

Ya, 280-300” is about the limit .

 

How many deliver to the docks in a basement that require you to drop the trailer so your tractor isn't in the middle of the street while unloading?

 

Exactly. It's all good until you have to go to a warehouse that was built in 1920.
Then you just look silly.
Very cool, but silly nevertheless.

 

Worst day of driving (strategically) ever - long story, won't tell the whole thing - get off of 95 and manage to end up on EVERY "no trucks allowed" street in Pawtucket, RI. And I pre-tripped like a nut job. Backed out of wrecking a telephone pole at some random T intersection & still had half my nose in the road when I finally docked (Cascadia sleeper + 53').... Woulda been a terrible day to own a fancy ride..... Looking like a dip-#### in a $300,000 suit.

 

My point

 

Ya ever noticed that most of those guys are sportin coffin sleepers?
No room for the big gals.....lol

 

53’s and some 54’s.
