Foodliner

It all depends on the terminal youre gonna run out of. I worked out of the Langhorne, PA. Its was alright. I left because I needed to be home everyday.

 

Well @cat2 who did you go with some of y'll are worse than the tv networks always leaving a guy hanging waiting on the next update lol

 

I noticed a lot of their trucks have the tiny sleepers....what is that all about?

 

Who would that be

 

He's probably talking about the foodliner trucks..

It's more of an optical illusion though because they have no fairings, top hat, and it also has the shorter front..

If you want to see small check this one out.. short front end and a 48" sleeper

 

Picture this foodliner truck with fairings and a top hat

 

Its all about weight. Bulk trucking with hoppers, tankers, and pneumatics are all about low tare weight to get the higest payload possible. Plus most of the time it's fairly regional as well, so you get more home time and only need the sleeper a few nights a week. I drive a 4 axle 386 pete with a 36" flat top and run bulk out west here regionally.

 

A 73 sleeper doesn't weigh much more than a 56....just sayn

 

It does to bean counters. Lol
