    Is there anyone in Springfield right now that would allow me to look at their eco 49 truck? I'd really like to see the size and difference between the lightweight and the full size. I'm not huge, but I am about 6'2" 210 lbs and I'm worried that this truck is going to be too small to be comfortable for any length of time.

    Im 6'1 290 in lightweight cascadia good head room not alot of storage but if you have them remove the passenger seat then you can use that space for a fridge microwave or whatever and if your lucky enough to get one with cab curtains for the windshield it really opens it up

    I've heard of folks who are too large for the lightweight tractors being assigned to a full-size condo. Downside is you forfeit the lightweight mileage bonus.

    I'm thinking I'm going to go tanker. Kill two birds with one stone that way :)

    There's a lot of mid roof in tanker div too. I'm looking at 3 of them sitting here on the yard as I type this.
