Maverick trucks?

Small trucks?? Thats news to me. Mavericks trucks are full size sleepers. Only dedicated drivers run anything smaller

 

Are u meaning cab height size??? A lot of flatbed carriers run mid roof trucks as otr van carriers run raised roof sleepers. Not sure why a lot of flatbed companies run mid roof trucks? Surely a skateboard puller will answer the question

 

I am new to trucking but this is my thoughts. The reason van carriers use the taller trucks is aerodynamics. The taller trucks get the air over the van easier. Flatbed pullers do not need the extra height and run the shorter trucks. From my understanding you can still easily stand up in them so it is no big deal to the drivers.

I would also guess that flatbed tend to be in places with lower heights because of construction sites and stuff so its easier to have a lower truck.

thats my .02

 

i always thought that same thing to, till i stepped foot in one. im 5'8 and i can jump up and down in the cab with out hitting my head. the sleepers are 72in. i can asure your with have more room than you need.

 

I believe also, most flatbed drivers get home alot more often than most ban drivers. That could also explain the sleeper height. Less height, less cabinet and storage space.

 

We dont run teams,with exception of trainers,therefore we dont need the extra bunk. That extra height cost $1000's extra not to mention its extra weight which means we cant haul heavier loads.
