single axle trucks

A single axle is going to limit you on the trailers you can pull.

 

Unless you are planing on pulling some really light stuff or leasing it onto a company that pulls doubles/triples , you're gonna be limiting yourself to only a very small piece of the pie as far as loads go.

 

I drive a single axle daycab and I love it. Easier to back and turns on dime, but I do LTL and our loads are always fairly light

 

I do too, for the last 17 1/2 years. Trust me, they absolutely SUCK in the winter!

 

This question begs... Why?
Sounds to me like you want a sleeper, but being a newer driver, don't want the added length of a twin screw, for the sole purpose of easier maneuvering & backing in tighter conditions. Is this it?
In any case, any single axle will significantly limit your gross weight load capabilities, especially on a sleeper cab. Traction/braking affected also.

 

Thankfully it doesent snow in the Bay Area haha

 

Singles axles just don't look like a real truck

 

I like the look, but i also drive a truck for living yet dont consider myself a trucker

 

I drive a single axle and get overweight tickets every week. 20,340 is the max allowance in many states. Most will let you roll with 21,000 but there were times they wrote me a ticket being barely over. You can ride in any lane you want bobtailing in the states that say "no trucks over 6 wheels"
