Studio sleeper or larger owner question.

I've seen the exact same rig parked in a motel parking lot in Berlin, CT. Looked like he was hauling exotic cars in a black, dry van.

 

If you consider a 90" Double Eagle a big house, I can only speak for myself.

379 Pete/48' Reitnouer step, full of fuel, food, water = 35460# empty. Truck only, 24420# I put the bunk on in '05 and have managed to stay as busy as I want. Of course I can't run commodities that are inherently heavy.

There's a KW? with a 156" (I think) plus a Harley "garage" behind that, he's surely in a nitch of some sort.
FWIW, a few things some people overlook, front axle weight- I'm 12200 empty simply due to physics of leverage. That's why you see the big bunks with the big tires on the steer, they're getting the tire weight rating they need. Yes, some DOT will check that. Ground clearance- with the long wb everything between the drives/steer gets mighty close going over speed bumps and humps. I backed down into a dock once, you couldn't put your hand under my fuel tank.

Hope this helps a little.

 

Pics please

 

^^ The quickest I can do is my avatar. I'll have to figure out how to post pics,, later today.

 

I love the big sleepers, condos etc. Saw a curtain trailer hook to a nice one yesterday.

 

Gotta go, fixen to pull into Columbus St. Terminal Chas. 13' 2" load today.

 

Ok, I saw the rig again...he's pulling for Pilot Transport.
