    .05 cpm more? I'll drive a baby Pete! No driver seat? Cool! Never liked having anyone in the truck with me anyway. lol

    I owned and drove a COE Intl back in the 80's with a single sleeper for over 2 years OTR. Heck, it didn't even have power steering and air conditioning. You want to talk about lack of storage?

    You young un's are getting spoiled...lol! Of course I did move up to a big ole Volvo Aerodyne in the 90's but....:biggrin_255:

    I looked at a lightweight KW today in the yard. It is very very nice. The driver seat is luxurious, and the sleeper has almost as much room as a condo, only 1 bed and just a little smaller. Same engine as the regular size I was told. (not sure) I would take a KW light....
