Ok< Here's The Deal...update

Just curious - is your rig a 379?- what you described fits mine exactly, though I've found the turning radius isn't as bad as one would think, based on the wheelbase.

 

the top bunk is not verry high in the new petes it is simalar to the older pete except that it has doors on the cabinets.
the upper bunk has alot more space and is not like a coffin like the old petes
It is better but I still prefer the freightliners because I can sir up in the beds in it.

 

LOL - yeah, I used to hang my head out, too - particularly on a sharp back. Now I use the mirrors a lot more, and if I have to, I stop and get out.

I've seen other 379 drivers hang out the door to back.. that's just not in my make up, though.

Another thing it does is make me plan my back ahead of time. As they say, it's all about the setup. In a lot of situations, the setup can be pretty ... well, sloppy, and you'll still bang the dock with no problems. Other times, though - you gotta sit for a moment and think. I feel the 379 enforces this a bit )at least, with me(.

 

Freightliners turn better that is why I will never drive a 379
