    2005 780 wit 78 inch sleeper . Is this truck really 13 feet high? Was looking at one but I haul grain and my eagle is only 10 1/2 I think and it barely fits into some grain elevators

    If you like the Volvo you could go with the 730 mid roof

    We all use flat tops or mid-roofs. Like you said, we can't get into the old elevators with a high rise condo. I think my Cascadia XT is just under 11'3"

    Errr no the 770 is an older version of the 780. The 730 is the mid roof

    The VNL 730, 770 and 780 are 77" Sleepers, not 78".
