Super Sleeper gents, I need your wisdom

Y’all need to trade them super sleepers for a 36” flattop... before you advertise the super sleeper let me know... lolol.

 

That is impressive . Im 32.8k empty . With 48ft flat and regular size sleeper. I always thought those big sleepers was gonna scale out around 40k empty

 

Mines 48k empty.

 

I was expecting the same. What do they make these things out of? Helium? The frame rails are a significant weight, and for that length do they have to be doubled in places to fight sag? My company truck is particularly heavy thanks to International using steel for the flat top sleeper with fiberglass only as the topper I think.

 

Depends on trailer. My stretch flat is 17,000 lbs - and I’m 42,500 lbs empty with that.

 

So my 53’ flat is 10.000 lbs - therefore with that, I can load almost 45k.

That would make the bus about 25k full of fuel and bobtail.

 

So - in my mind, you have to have an accurate weight of the trailer you’re intending to pull, weight of freight expected - and then consider the weight of the bus - bobtail - before pulling triggers.

Sound logical?

 

Logical? In this business.
My truck weighs around 24k with fuel and water, I have a heavy trailer.
