Why is this tractor so long?

He ain't living in the truck. That sleeper is plenty big enough to get a few hours of shut eye in before heading back to the house.

 

I'd like to get a big dog box, but there's no way I'd make my deliveries.

Have to settle for that 86" KW.

 

Bull haulers don’t sleep and you can never have enough cool.

Actually it’s not any longer than most trucks with a big house.

 

Right. the empty frame space just gives the assistance he is extra long but probably right at 300. Doing what i do now id rather have the big bunk. But if i ever fall into a gig were I'm only out a night or two at most, nothing looks cooler than a stretched out flat top pete.

 

The only thing I do in a truck is drive and sleep. What do I need a big sleeper for? If I had a big sleeper, I would want a hot tub and a stripper pole in it.

 

Its like the constant arguement in the European truck thread. One guy seems to think our trucks are #### because we can't stand up in them. Last time I checked trucks were driven while seated.

 

You are more sociable thank me. I can only take people, especially the average driver, in small doses so i spend a bit more time in my truck when i have a surplus of downtime. And i prefer to prepare my own meals, that requires space. Oh and that running water thing is rather nice.

 

Quite a few times, I will get out of the truck, check into a motel, get a pizza and a case of beer and not be seen for a weekend. Or at least until the beer has run out.

 

In ND, the Alaskan crew I worked for, they brought theirs down and all their trucks were stretched way out and heavy.

 

He might be hauling some of the long loads that make having a long wheel base necessary.

I can't remember the type of loads but there was a guy having 2 of those trucks built a couple years back. Specifically for those loads.
