    A full size has a sleeper that goes all most as high as the trailer. Only a few inches difference. The cute trucks or mid-roofs (hence the name MID_ROOF) are around a foot +/- lower. Some times you need to look at them from the rear of the truck to tell as some have a faring thats goes full heigth for wind performance. Some it very obvious.

    Its really not hard to identify. To a certain extent, the mini sleeper trucks could be considered glorified daycabs. They have smaller sleepers...that's it.

    Pretty much. Up front all the controls completely the same. Yet the sleeper in a nutshell is just a bed. As opposed to extra storage space the full size have. Plus full size have 2 beds.

    I'm pretty comfortable in my lightweight. Though don't require much to make me happy. Worse thing about light weights is the wind.

    There is a huge difference between the fullsize Pete n the cute baby Pete. Not even the same model. That is a full-size pictured. We do have several midroofs with a full size sleeper on them. Mainly just for tanker, n some flatbed where we dont need the high rise roof.

    Harvey Wallbanger: Me hat is off to you for being able to driving the triples. I'd be so discombobulated figuring out how to back that dude.

    You don't back triples. I have seen a couple of drivers back doubles, but it's rare.

    Yeah triples are never backed.....I dont care what anybody heard from a friend of a friend who knew a guy that once saw a guy claim he heard of somebody back triples....

    It cant be done!

    It took me years to be able to back doubles...And they can only be backed in a straight line. I dont know any driver who can back conventional doubles at an angle.
