Trucks like these are mostly used for team drivers that move sensitive and timely materials. Most are used by specialized military equipment. These guys will show up at a certain time and can't move until the load is loaded and secured and signed off. This could mean days sometimes.
Obviously most of you commentting could ever handle one of these beautys. We get around with these everyday. Just need to know how to drive and have patience
That are many wearhouses that don't have enough space to back up to a door with a 53 " trailer no matter how good someone can drive and there are even turns here in Philadelphia that you won't be able to make.
Not true ernie4171. you are a blowhard and you don’t drive this vehicle for routine freight runs . no amount of patience is going to create space at ANY typical warehouse loading zone . TYPICAL IS THE KEY WORD . If one has a dedicated location to location run it will work but TYPICAL equipment requirements will not allow for a vehicle of that length. Please prove me wrong and you have my apologies .
Ovviamente è un'americanata gestibile solo negli States. Prova a guidarlo su e giù per L'Europa, dalla Scandinavia alla Sicilia o dal Portogallo affacciato sull'Atlantico fino ai confini con la Russia, scavalcando le Alpi o le catene montuose balcaniche. Non è importante quanto tu sia capace a manovrarlo in un parcheggio ma come pensi di condurlo su e giù per tornanti, incroci di attraversamento cittadino o in società di spedizione con parcheggio, pieni, sfruttati al centimetro. Dai, provaci fenomeno.
Most time you see ppl drive these are pulling moving trailer or dedicated airport loads. Might see occasional reefer or box hooked to one but most have dedicated areas
Back in the day, went out several weeks at a time in an 87 Ford L9000 (rubber clock suspension) with a coffin bunk sleeper ...it had air-conditioning and a cassette deck radio.
Because you won't be able to come home because you gotta be on the road all the time to pay the payments on that thing or the bank will take it from you lol
He'll never be able to drop a trailer at a warehouse or other shipping yard . There's not that much space in terminal yards for a 53 foot trailer and tractor that long to maneuver and leave a exit lane for other truckers
Yeah I understand exactly what you are saying but there are many wearhouses that have enough space and many that don't have enough space for how long this tractor is along with a 53" trailer.
It doesn’t really matter the length of the intire rig it matters the experience of the person driving it you better know your turning radius or you will fuck someone else’s vehicle
@@erniejeror4171E ovviamente solo un americano poteva rispondere con così tanta presunzione. Svegliati, i piloti sportivi, in pista, nei rally, come pure i driver dei Trucks li trovi in Europa, per la varietà di paesaggi che devono affrontare quotidianamente. Tutti sono capaci di guidare su infinite autostrade dritte. Confrontati con gli autisti australiani che ad una motrice con 4/5 assi attaccano 5 o 6 rimorchi come un convoglio ferroviario.
I retired from trucking last year and i cannot recall seeing one of these types of tractors rolling at dusk as that was the time i usually head out. Awesome rigs💥.
With such a stretched frame I have to wonder what loads can you haul? I know that you would likely have to regularly apply for oversized/overweight permits in the states along your route but the maneuvering alone would force you to have extremely set routes and stops as well.
This is a game-changer. If you want to live that life on the road, then you don't really need to buy a house until you're ready to settle down. Peterbilt trucks really are my favorite.
It is nothing else than an simple...old fashion truck driver house...small,narrow and with small windows/windscreen..we know from the 1950er ...since 40 years ago..and a caravan-living room in the back..so..what's so super?Not compaireble with european trucks...which offered much more space and comfort in the working area.
Just to be able to live like a human, to cook a meal, to have a toilet (and shower) when you have to park overnight at a customer, without having to pee in a bottle. All trucks should have an rv style sleeper, maybe not this big but at least a kitchenette and toilet
Одного не могу понять нахрена такая машина??? Нахрена такой большой холодильник??? На этой машине что до луны и обратно ездят???? Или загрузки ждут неделями
Beautiful rig but it gets a “D” for internal cabinets, run-of-the-mill, handles that protrude, Shaker style. Makes one question the quality of the sleeper.
Sure its nice. But I can think of a dozen depots off the top of my head where you are going to be bugging the yard apes to be pulling your trailer out of the line. Simply because the truck is too long.
Doesn't this screw up the total weight of the freight you can haul? Wouldn't a huge sleeper like that "cut into" the load since the GVWR wouldn't change from 80,000???
If you're hauling loads where you're grossed out, yeah that'd be an issue. Most of the big sleepers I see do loads like jet engines where you're hauling a single unit, maybe two at most, and the whole load is maybe 20k pounds tops. They don't make a lot of sense for normal linehaul ops but stuff like aircraft engines where the trucks spend at least as much time parked waiting for the load to be ready as they do driving, and then they have to run like their asses are on fire, they're perfect. Put a husband and wife team in there and they can do stuff us normal OTR drivers wouldn't want or couldn't do.
Still using rv grade piece crap single din stereo want a joke. Get with the times whom ever is building this joke of interior for dash that driver uses every day.
