    There is no right answer to this question. Its all on how you want/need the truck setup.

    Im setting up a 389 pete to pull 53' 3 and 4 axle tankers. I will have a 306" wheelbase 70" sleeper and a lift axle right in the middle of my wheelbase. Could I pull 2, 3, and 4 axle dry vans a reefers. Sure can. Can I pack the same load on a 2 axle reefer as a guy with a regular truck? Depends on the states Im running in as to if they allow extended weight permits for divisible loads. So as you see there is no right answer.

    You guys can have the cab-overs. They are rare, and nice to see, especially ones as nice as pictured. But, I spent enough years driving them that I would still rather take a beating than drive one of those again.
