What type of freight allows extra-large cabs?

I seen those pulling 48 ft stepdecks also mainly aluminum parts or jet enjines my guess dedicated accounts staying out up to a yr if not a good couple of months.

 

Interesting post, I was wondering the same thing.

 

those people pretty much live on their truck, I have seen some that have small kitchens or even bathrooms with a shower. Yes you will be limited on the weight you can carry, I drove just a volvo 780 the larger volvo and 45k loads were pushing it getting scaled out.
I have wondered about those trucks often too, seems it would be nice to have the extra stuff but your limited more compared to other trucks for loads. Those trucks will cost you a lot more money too and thats why you dont see a lot of them.

Some people like to throw money into their trucks though, I laugh at the ones who are all lit up and it looks like a carnival coming at me lol

 

The trucks with all the lights look neat to me I wouldn't want to drive one because its just not my style.

 

You need freight that is light weight... hence you often see Bedbuggers with large sleepers.... I drove Blanket Wrap/Showcase.... trade show displays or high value fragile objects that are lightweight so you can have a large sleeper in that business too.... My heaviest loads were 25,000#.... I averaged only 15,000#....

That light stuff makes fuel stretch out as well... I averaged 6 in a Pete 359EXHD with a 3406b... and the truck rides a hell of a lot better too....

 

Home furniture movers use them. Even with a full trailer they average between 15 and 30 thousand lbs.

 

I can think of a LOT of places where you'd have NEVER put a trailer with one of those!
They do look like a nice place to live.

 

Air freight also. I see a number of them leased on to Forward Air. Terminal to Terminal, drop and hook.

 

We have an O/O that has one working for TMC. He told me he is about 4000 heavier then we are so he simply refuses the heaviest freight.
