    Once upon a time on a day cab I was taking a nap in the passenger seat because I had like a 3hr wait time or something. I said f@&$ it I'm talking a nap. Fast forward an hour or so, highway patrol banging on my passenger door. He asked me where's the driver of this rig? I told him I was. He goes why are you asleep in the passenger seat? I said I can't be asleep at the wheel if I'm in the passenger seat. He chuckled and said I was in a no parking zone, did I have enough time to move. Yup sure no problem. Nice fella. Smelled like fried onions and turd, though.

    Why not! It is even legal nowadays to sleep in a daycab, just log it as off-duty. It will get old quick not having any space but it will be cheaper than hotels until you can extend the cab.

    Hey Joel, it was a collaboration, too be honest I am waiting for my lightweight truck to get done, then I should be able to see how it goes. If you are asking me to guess based on the one load that I hauled, I think the goal of hauling 5 units without any overhang front or rear will work well, BUT, I think depending on the units you may get "slightly" over on the rear axle, it would be a perfect trailer for the Northeast, where over hang is a no-no but up to 22,000 on the rear axle is acceptable!

    Hey Mike, the tractor wb stretch and moving all of the components and adding a "matching" batt box on the pass side is all done. He welded a custom tailpanel in to carry my rear lights and all of my electrical and air connections, raised the fenders to accept the taller rubber, added a trailer service valve in the cab and an air suspension gauge, cut down the polished tread plates so both side are identical and installed the deck plates, he should have the 5th wheel mounted today.

    Hopefully I can pick it up tom and get the tires mounted, have to calibrate the speedo then I am going to run it for a week or two, after I am sure everything is copacetic I will drop it to the body shop and start on the cab stretch, it really was a lot more work than it looked, but when done it will be exactly what I want!
