    Looks like a daycab.. someone put a sit in w900 sleeper on...
    Might be hard to axle out, looks like 5th wheel will have to be all the way back I order to make turns and not get into sleeper..
    Might be the look of photo too, but pay close attention the first time to make sure nose swing or reefer won’t hit back of cab

    It looks like 5th wheel is slid to the ft. all the way in pic. so if its set to middle of axles you may be ok pulling a 53 ft. trailer?

    Maybe it’s just the picture, but that thing looks like it has a really short wheelbase.
