    Edge of the bed backs up to front seats. No cabinets in between. I like to call them "Teamsters Daycabs!" Lol

    At first glance, they really don't look much different from a standard "Condo" sleeper. Dual Axle, high roof.......the give away is that the Side Box doors are about 2 feet closer to the back edge of the doors on the truck. The ones I have seen are Freightliners, not sure what other manufacturers make them. They are apparently a little less expensive to operate......lughter weight by some amount that allows to pull heavier loads? A bit better fuel mileage? Both?...... I'm sure that Prime has crunched the numbers and found they can pay the driver an extra few cents per mile to drive one. My Truck is my "Primary Residence" as I choose to run for weeks on end. Although.....I I were an O/O that got home every 2-3 weeks and was able to travel light......might not be a bad option. I think the fuel savings, and extra profit over the course of a year could be significant. Robert Low didn't get where he is today by being a stupid man!
