    This truck is a double bunk, the very top of the pic is the bottom of the bed. So I assume the driver of this truck sleeps on the top bunk and keeps the table set up all the time.

    A.D Transport has a bunch of KW's with BIG sleepers on them, maybe 72's? I see AD trucks alot around and they all seem to have big sleepers.

    Indiana, that is the same set up we had. We had the Volvo 780 D16 and there was so much space! Not only spacious but it had plenty of storage. So much storage that we could afford to take out that whole cabinet in front of the bed and put a pretty good size fridge in its place! Volvo does make their own fridge that fits perfectly in the cabinet. Though they are very pricey!

    I'm starting with Millis June 11th so I am sure I will be in a KW T700 or similar

    The new Mack CXU PInnacle I drove last fall had a massive double sleeper, I would have moved in in a second.

    Financial gain is important for sure, but if you like staying out long to maximize that gain the interior of your living compartment should be a big deal. My previous Co had T2000 and T600 I stayed out sometimes 3-4 month spreads. I had a T 2000 not bad, but a T 600 maybe two weeks at most. Hell I probably would have quit, with that narrow space between seats and stupid step down.

    Now the Volvo 780 now we are talking. Who cares what it looks like on the outside, hell you gota live in the dam thing. If your stying out size matters, and I was by myself! How about a wife and two dog's lol I've seen it

    Nice set up if you have to sit a day though, then just climb up to the upper bunk to sleep

    Try looking for a company that will give you a Transtar II. After driving that even a 48" flat top FLD 120 will feel like a super truck.

    Truthfully, I like the interior of the Prostar I am driving. I have the 74" mid-roof and there's plenty of room for me in here.
