    That pretty much sums up every euro vehicle made in the last 15 years.

    And even a navy and an air force. And you know what, they have been in all kind of piece operations all over the world. They even think in advance, so when hurricane Irma struck St. Maarten, the army was there in advance, and the navy was on its way.

    True, but you can get cab overs with 2, 3, 4 and even 5 axles. And I'm sure even 6 axles if you ask nicely.

    6 become quite common at fire ladder, concrete pumps and huge cranes in recent time.

    Axles have little bit different meaning, for example 6axle crane truck usually weight around 158-159k lbs, 7axle concrete pump on scania weights 212.400lbs

    In usa you will see quite big amount of 5+ axles concrete pumps on 7. But those are smaller axles.

    Looks great inside, how heavy could be truck with it. And who make lightest decent quality custom sleepers.

    What is optimal size of custom sleeper.

    I have seen it only once in live, it was orange w900l with bulky sleeper quite ugly almost square, those bolt ones somehow fit into basic design of truck

    Almost square?

    Probably made by American Eagle Sleepers. IF you have the frame and money you have the time to enjoy it.
