OTR Truck Question

I have the 670. It also has the work and eating station. However, I don't use it. I keep it folded down & had a custom mattress made up. I use the upper bunk for additional storage space.

 

I cannot recommend a pete for big boy. That cab would be rather small.

Indeed to Combiner_King on large cars for moving. But certain number of days waiting or laying over I would imagine they want out. I recall a specific trucker engaged in that business complaining that he has had a 21 day layover back in 1988 in a small truckstop on the VA Beach Road,. I could not tell you the name of that thing on the north side of it now.

 

most condo sleepers have a double bunk setup. A condo sleeper is as tall as the trailer. The bunk bed arrangement allows you to store more stuff & high ceiling is headroom for you.

For staying out 3 weeks insist on APU & inverter. These give you heat/AC & electricity when truck engine is off. Inverters let you ha 110v AC power like at home. Company ads will usually mention APU & onverters, but ask here & of company.

 

An idea would be to purchase 10 feet of pipe warmer. Plug that in and it should provide your APU fuel supply some degree of protection against cold frosts etc OR even changes in mountain vs valley altitude driving. It might be rated for 120 volts but should generate some heat 12 volte easily enough. Should not be anythiing there that will hurt anything.

 

I am a big guy I have found that international pro star had the best leg room for drivers I onley buy international now I have drove all the other ones but most comfortable in international now I know call ark runs them they are a good company with miles I own my own company but if I was to work for any one it be them

 

The Volvo 780s have great sleeper space but not a good choice for leg room for somebody over 6 feet.

 

You might have some leg room but you better spend about $5000 for a decent seat.
