What do you call it when they customize their truck to have an extra long catwalk?

Is this truck in the picture loading at Jackson Ms off I-220? I see him on the ramp in Batesville on I55 several times a week. Good looking truck, and I love about a 300-310 wheel base.

 

Maybe he was delivering in New Orleans when I took that.

 

Its called Pride in your Ride! Some of you guys crack me up! Can you imagine what the world would be like if we all drove the same identical truck, ate the same food, made the same money? As long as yer makin that money in the lane your a runnin, who really cares what others think? Thank God we are all different! Theres a lotta stuff I dont like, but I aint gonna shoot some feller down for it!

Amen! I get the “maximize your profits” mindset, but given the choice between a plain white plastic truck hauling a plain van trailer, or a 300 inch wheel base custom conventional or cabover with lights and a spread axle trailer, polished out, I will take the latter every time.

You know it!

But but but, you just CANT hit a tight dock with them!!! Well, why would I want to? Lol

God Made Long Hoods and Long Rails!

 

280wb truck is workable, the folks who have 300+ are more along the line of hobby truckers..making money isn’t whats driving em, not saying there isn’t any guys chasing dollars with rigs like that but majority are hobbyist. Not saying I wouldn’t love to be in that crowd either lol just my 2cents..

 

If you buy a 300" tractor you should know what work you going to be doing.

If it looks like a hobby that probably means your having more fun than a driver in a never washed, beat up 3500 mile a week, run it till it breaks and leave it rig

 

I dig a stretched Cabinover also!!! but I would drive this too!

 

Here's my hobby truck. If you call grossing 90,000+ pounds 6 days a week a hobby. Lol

 

Ok, I’m 300 and it’s designed to work
