I’m a newer lease op and man buying my own truck has made me obsessed with semis in a whole new way. I’ve never even sat in a long nose 579 and need one. With that being said I’m just curious what you guys are hauling and if you love it. How much home time? Are you fully independent? Posted a pic of my Peanbilt just because I love it
What are yall hauling with stretched frame trucks?

My daycab is not really stretched when compared to some sleeper trucks, but 265” wheel base and 90’ from nose to tail loaded it takes up some real estate. Home 4-5 nights a week and leased to a major carrier hauling CARS and yes most days even after 37 years I still love driving Big Trucks! My sleeper is either a King Sized bed at Home or the Holiday Inn.
I did have a slightly cooler truck back in the day, but my current one pays much better!

Most stretched trucks are in the open deck world, and it's so you have room to over hang the load off the front of the trailer. Those that have monster sleepers on a stretched trucks are usually on a dedicated account or once again in the open deck world. Trailers are lighter and certain loads can be also
