    Well, where I work we have small sleepers, so you can cross us off your list. We're in the businesss to make money, not to impress others in the back row of the truckstop.

    Okay, first my sympathies to you on your loss.

    Secondly, okay on the big sleeper, but that means a big truck and the weight of the vehicle means that you will be pulling a van or a reefer, since they tend to be the least weight sensitive. Lot's of companies out there, just a matter of finding one you are happy with. I would look at midsized outfits rather than mega carriers, more lilely to find something that fits your needs in that size company.

    :) Agreed! :) Im a big fan of Owner Operator's and small biz owner's and all Independant's! They [yal] are my absolute heroes!!! Would give my right arm to drive for one long term instead of the tractor jumping i've been doing lately no fault of my own. I love OTR like even i can't quite understand. "Tear's" roll down my cheek's as im driving many part's of the country from the romance/passion of the road. Woop's;; got off subject. Gnite.

    Look into the Ashley furniture trucks. they run nice black volvo's with the big 80" sleepers. Personally I'm not a fan of th volvo but they are smooth and have the biggest sleepers. The KW studio is longer but with the one piece wide body of the volvo their sleeper feels much bigger. And I know of no co's running the studio's they are just too expensive I guess, although they sure are nice

    Thx; & agree with both of ya! "Largest Sleeper" aint [my southern slang :) ] required. Just my preference. Larger Co's hesitate to touch me due to current regulation's requireing minimum amount's verifiable otr even though hauled 120' concrete/wood/steel Power Pole's, Substation Transformer's, Voltage Regulator's, 55 Gal Drum's PCB Contaminated Oil, ETC all my life. IE: Power Companies & Contractor's i worked for did no Dac reporting plus never knew what their employees were driving. There's probly a thread on here devoted to the tragedies of basing hiring decision's solely on Dac's, and contacting previous lieing employ's, i don't know? In my case been driving since child of 17; class As since incepted; but Government Reg's causes insurance Companies and truckin Companies to not notice Career Driver's in my situation IE: Local Power Line Hauling. I found OTR this year with the 2 Independent OOs i was with b4 they ran out of money, absolute gravey due to my background [ Power Lineman ] and love it beyond word's. I'll shortly begin communicating with OOIDA concerning these Driver Hireing issue's/deficiancies to examine my option's if any; or to blaze the trail if i can? Im not saying 'looking at/examining Dac's' and 'contacting Previous Employ's' does'nt work. It's just a laugh and total waste, and does'nt work in mine and many Career Driver's live's whenever the industry is needing qualified experienced Drivers. I just lived/worked Solo covering most of the 48s with a 53' Reefer in 2 month's and a 48' Flatbed in 1 month living in a tractor all over America in public 24/7s; yet im unhireable to most due to minimum verifiable? Don't make me laugh. GOD another one just said no over the phone due to not enough Verifiable! & here i sit typing at home easily being able to do it and already have. Lord have mercy. Sorry 4 getting off subject. Stay & run safe brother's. & Sister's.

    Check into DOT line I believe they have teams and solos and use the BIG DADDY 84" sleeper trucks. The only thing bigger is the special custom jobs the moving van companies (owner operator of course) are using.
