@@RBFR01 A bunk bed is just as much of an imposition. For the price I expect at least a king size bed above the seating area, which I can lower if necessary, but leaves the seating area usable to the extent that you can still sit under it and which also has a Nivelier facility, so that you can align the lying surface carriagewise, if the truck is at an angle. When not needed, I can drive the bed completely under the ceiling and have there then also the ceiling light or a corresponding ambient lighting under the bed, so that the underside of the raised bed acts like a normal living room ceiling.

@@RBFR01 That Busch has clearly never been inside a truck in his life! There's just not enough room for a king size bed to be lowered down from the ceiling!

@Charles Morse And where and how can I, with the bed made usable, still use the sitting area at the same time? I also have to lower the table beforehand, which means that I have to clear it completely. That's just awkward and takes too long. In addition, a passenger can then no longer use the seating area, for example, still undisturbed to read or eat something. All this could be completely bypassed with a bed attached under the ceiling, which I can lower. And the technical effort for this would not even be greater than for the folding variant in the truck. And what does that have to do with my job and your assumption that it's a lousy job?
I wish every trucker should have a cab like this. They deserve it because it's work that's needed, but it's work most of us don't want to do. They should all be able to drive in comfort as much as possible.
if every trucker had a cab like this, they wouldn't be able to transport loads as large as they do. roads have limits on weight of vehicles, so the more space in the cabin, the less cargo that can be transported
That’s nicer than most RV’s, plus you’re making money while driving it. I would absolutely love being a trucker, but can’t pass the DOT exam due to MS. But, thank you to every trucker! From working with my husband, who used to manage logistics accounts, I know y’all work long hours, are often away from your families for weeks at a time, and also know it can be a thankless job, especially dealing with passenger cars and dispatchers.

Actually the stress could come more from time pressures--having to meet deadlines. MY stress was also having to pick up from places I've never been to before, and trying sometimes to find them, using old Thomas Guide maps with torn out pages; or food & coffee stains/ writing on them from other drivers, under time considerations; and finding out the place of business was not "tractor/trailer friendly" even with a cab-over tractor and a 53' trailer because it might not have had a loading dock--or the loading dock was blocked with cars, and I had to wait while the owners were tracked down and they moved them, and the person responsible for the paperwork often was busy playing solitare on the computer and I was interrupting his or her game, and how DARE I bother THEM when I may have to have that freight that I'm picking up from them at SFO airport at say 7:00 pm.....And I'm still in SAN JOSE at 5:15pm, and there are accidents with injuries reported on both the 101 and 280 freeways, and yet I have perhaps even more pickups to make at similar places, and a dispatcher wondering what is taking me so long to pick up perhaps just ONE crate that may weigh up to 500lbs without a decent FORKLIFT to load the thing** and finally I'm on the road in bumper-to-bumper traffic with a truck that is NOT an automatic that has little or no air conditioning in heat that is approaching 85+ degrees only to get just north of SFO to start freezing my ass off in fog. The good news? I was just a LOCAL driver and did not have to worry about filling out log-books, and I rarely got cut off. (One day, after not having an adequate enough supply of Red-Bull energy drink, I was going at a nice clip on northbound 280 towards San Francisco, but discovered too late around a bend that traffic ahead of me had backed up, and came to a complete standstill, prompting me to hit the airbrakes a little too hard, causing the trailer to jackknife, but not before it had cut off a rapidly approaching BMW on my left side. Fortuneately no one was hurt or killed and the driver just gave me a one finger salute.😬😂 But I often marvelled at rushing "soccer moms" trying to make a right turn inside of me while I was making a right turn too.😂😂😂😂😂 **Prompting the finding and recruitment of strapping but not so willing young men such as myself to load such a beast BY HAND onto the back of the trailer, only to discover that On THIS pickup I didn't bring a PALLET JACK with me, and so 3 or 4 guys help load THEIR pallet jack that doesn't work properly and has lots of warehouse crud blocking the proper rolling of its wheels.😂😂😂 I have a hunch more than one truck driver prior to GPS devices can relate to the type of STRESS I describe so vividly here
This is awesome, and would be a dream, but I'm not sure I'd like giving up the turning radius. A lot of docks are hard enough getting into. Some would be impossible with this.
@@shawnwea9395 ....that's what the under-slung tailgate is for. Back-up to about 4 ft (or the max. extended length of the folded tailgate, whichever is more) from the dock, activate the tail-gate and raise it to box-floor level flat out....measure the number of "toe-to-heel" steps from the extremity of that tailgate edge to the building's dock-edge...say for the sake of argument, 13 such "toe-to-heel steps"...now walk to the driver's door, take the front-corner of your top step as reference mark, and count the same number of "toe-to-heel steps" toward the back, and at the13th toe, place a pen (or lighter, or ruler) on the ground. Now hop in the cab, open the window, place the vehicle in reverse, release the parking brake, and fixate your eyes out the window down to the front-corner top-step reference mark and begin backing-up slowly....do not look in the mirror...do not look any where else but that front-corner top step reference mark. When it is level with your pen (or lighter , or ruler), STOP, pull the yellow button on the dash, and place the shifter in neutral. Now walk back to the dock....everyone standing there will be in awe how you managed to get the tailgate to within 1 inch of the dock-edge without any one guiding you. LOL....remember, your trainer, when he said "use a guide to your advantage?"....they didn't say it was going to be someone waving a hand...your own brain, foot & a pen will work wonders...every time!.
Lol no they weren't and this is just a refined better looking version of the long existing extended sleeper cab. People have been doing that with the old school looking macks and peterbilts for a long time. But it didn't look good with a bulky box shape stretching off the back. History channel even had a documentary series showing them. One lady had a shower and fake fireplace in hers.
@@punchingcrow5486 Not really.Most of the people driving these rigs are not hauling general freight.They are hauling specialized freight.Mostly light weight,and high paying freight.

Nice. This is the closest I've seen to 'The Gypsy's' Truck from the old graphic novel where a new ice age forms and air travel as well as ship travel is greatly curtailed. And it addresses the number one issue for OTR truckers, food cost. Having to eat at restaurants for every meal eats up much of your wage. Being able to cook most of your meals in your truck is a great cost savings.

Now this is the way to travel! It’s just sad to not see a third peddle on the floor but I guess this is the future of trucking. I love how the cab is bigger than the box on the truck! Must be for transporting some expensive stuff!
Been nice to have seen the sleeping arrangements. I assume the dinette converts with the back wall being lowered? Bed already made up? It was entitled "sleeper truck" but the most important part for long haul truckers is where they sleep after they eat!! We do have looooong haul in Australia as well
At 30 years at 7% that's $2,400.00 a month. Your not going to get a loan for 30 years, maybe 15. So that $4,800 a month. Then the insurance is probably 25 grand or MORE a year. You would have to be hauling 24/7 365 days a year to make it work and then be able to maybe make 50 grand a year. No thanks, I'll take a nice HOME for that kind of money.
He probably should have put in the description that this type truck is mainly for Team Expediting, hence the short box. This can be a very,very lucrative niche in Trucking
@@YeeeeeHaaaaa There are no trailers with these trucks. This is a straight truck only! All the freight fits in that 17' box. An no one else would ever be driving it.
At the beginning it looked like it was hooked up to a trailer but the they show the hole rig and it actually has a small box sitting on the back of it. It took me a moment to realize this
The peace of mind of being able to eat anything your heart desires, knowing that if you have to take a massive dump you can just pull over and use your own private toilet.
You can do that in a pickup truck with an extended cab. Get rid of the rear seat and put in a camping toilet. Just need tinted windows and/or a curtain.
Distribution warehouse = "Prob be about 4-5 hours before we can get to ya, sorry 'bout that." Boss Trucker = "dang, I was hoping to crash here for the week!"
I get that all the time, then when I head out to get something to eat they call me in about ten minutes “ We have a door you” you have to turn around and come back then they give you a door way down at the end of the building you sit there for 3 hours no food😡
Well, if your LIFE is that of a truck driver, if you are doing long-haul over days and weeks, comfort is the most important thing, hands down. That and safety. This setup gives you options!
Its not traffic lights you have to worry about, it's tiny docks built by people who have never seen a semi truck before. It's hard to get a normal sleeper truck in some of them. One or two, that while I did get docked, I'll never go back to. I've had to rescue loads that grain haulers(pulling normal dry vans) couldn't get into the dock with, they tend to like their trucks with a stretched out frame, which would make them about the same length as these super-sleepers. Then there is the weight issue, they can only put about 38k-40k lbs in the box, I average 42k on my back hauls, that would be... problematic.
@@genejeffries2888 driving 20 plus years and alot of those docks were built years ago before I started driving for 48 foot trailers. GFS Wolf st Melrose park Chicago area can kiss my a** hahaha.

Mostly in places like Idaho and Montana, its not like they don't have the room, all they have is space.
@@genejeffries2888 most of mine was Chicago when alot of these businesses were started and built when Chicago had stock yards and semi trailers were not as long as they are now.

Blind side with maybe a foot from your bumper hitting the trailer facing the dock small yard and as you backed into this warhorse there were two people that had to push your doors to to the side so you didn't hit the freakn I beams as you backed in couldn't see anything inside you had to listen to them saying left rite Stop it was my worst place.

@@alansmith2693 Actually, that is a Semi tractor. What you are looking at is an adaption made to show what a trailer would look like attached to the tractor. If you actually think that it is a straight truck, then you really don't know the trucking industry. I have seen those adaptions on many display models through the years at many, many trucking shows. That way when you are prospecting for a new rig, you can look at it and get an idea of how your, or your company's trailers will interact with the tractor.

@@stanremley6646 No. According to the blurb, the rig is set up for expedited freight. Smaller loads that someone wants somewhere, delivered door to door, promptly.
People have been asking for a bed. It’s right there on the back wall where the table is. Once the table goes down that bed comes out. And that’s a pretty big bed too. It’s bigger than your average twin size bed you find in all sleeper trucks. This one looks like a full.
Very useful when you are waiting at the Amazon warehouse for a trailer pickup, lol. The toilet sucks if you wipe with your right hand though - but then I guess you could use the shower head as a bidet.

Yes the table collapses down, lays flat level with the seats, then the bed folds down.

You can see where the bed flips down between the two seats by the table.

Respect to y’all Truck Drivers! The way y’all get cut off on the roads is nuts! I couldn’t handle the stress. 👍🏼
Actually the stress could come more from time pressures--having to meet deadlines. MY stress was also having to pick up from places I've never been to before, and trying sometimes to find them, using old Thomas Guide maps with torn out pages; or food & coffee stains/ writing on them from other drivers, under time considerations; and finding out the place of business was not "tractor/trailer friendly" even with a cab-over tractor and a 53' trailer because it might not have had a loading dock--or the loading dock was blocked with cars, and I had to wait while the owners were tracked down and they moved them, and the person responsible for the paperwork often was busy playing solitare on the computer and I was interrupting his or her game, and how DARE I bother THEM when I may have to have that freight that I'm picking up from them at SFO airport at say 7:00 pm.....And I'm still in SAN JOSE at 5:15pm, and there are accidents with injuries reported on both the 101 and 280 freeways, and yet I have perhaps even more pickups to make at similar places, and a dispatcher wondering what is taking me so long to pick up perhaps just ONE crate that may weigh up to 500lbs without a decent FORKLIFT to load the thing** and finally I'm on the road in bumper-to-bumper traffic with a truck that is NOT an automatic that has little or no air conditioning in heat that is approaching 85+ degrees only to get just north of SFO to start freezing my ass off in fog.
The good news? I was just a LOCAL driver and did not have to worry about filling out log-books, and I rarely got cut off. (One day, after not having an adequate enough supply of Red-Bull energy drink, I was going at a nice clip on northbound 280 towards San Francisco, but discovered too late around a bend that traffic ahead of me had backed up, and came to a complete standstill, prompting me to hit the airbrakes a little too hard, causing the trailer to jackknife, but not before it had cut off a rapidly approaching BMW on my left side. Fortuneately no one was hurt or killed and the driver just gave me a one finger salute.😬😂 But I often marvelled at rushing "soccer moms" trying to make a right turn inside of me while I was making a right turn too.😂😂😂😂😂
**Prompting the finding and recruitment of strapping but not so willing young men such as myself to load such a beast BY HAND onto the back of the trailer, only to discover that On THIS pickup I didn't bring a PALLET JACK with me, and so 3 or 4 guys help load THEIR pallet jack that doesn't work properly and has lots of warehouse crud blocking the proper rolling of its wheels.😂😂😂
I have a hunch more than one truck driver prior to GPS devices can relate to the type of STRESS I describe so vividly here
I have no respect for truckers. They are the worst most arrogant drivers on the road.

@@shawnwea9395 ....that's what the under-slung tailgate is for. Back-up to about 4 ft (or the max. extended length of the folded tailgate, whichever is more) from the dock, activate the tail-gate and raise it to box-floor level flat out....measure the number of "toe-to-heel" steps from the extremity of that tailgate edge to the building's dock-edge...say for the sake of argument, 13 such "toe-to-heel steps"...now walk to the driver's door, take the front-corner of your top step as reference mark, and count the same number of "toe-to-heel steps" toward the back, and at the13th toe, place a pen (or lighter, or ruler) on the ground. Now hop in the cab, open the window, place the vehicle in reverse, release the parking brake, and fixate your eyes out the window down to the front-corner top-step reference mark and begin backing-up slowly....do not look in the mirror...do not look any where else but that front-corner top step reference mark. When it is level with your pen (or lighter , or ruler), STOP, pull the yellow button on the dash, and place the shifter in neutral.
Now walk back to the dock....everyone standing there will be in awe how you managed to get the tailgate to within 1 inch of the dock-edge without any one guiding you. LOL....remember, your trainer, when he said "use a guide to your advantage?"....they didn't say it was going to be someone waving a hand...your own brain, foot & a pen will work wonders...every time!.

Nice. This is the closest I've seen to 'The Gypsy's' Truck from the old graphic novel where a new ice age forms and air travel as well as ship travel is greatly curtailed. And it addresses the number one issue for OTR truckers, food cost. Having to eat at restaurants for every meal eats up much of your wage. Being able to cook most of your meals in your truck is a great cost savings.
Don’t forget the convenience of having your very own toilet and shower.

Been nice to have seen the sleeping arrangements. I assume the dinette converts with the back wall being lowered? Bed already made up? It was entitled "sleeper truck" but the most important part for long haul truckers is where they sleep after they eat!!
We do have looooong haul in Australia as well
With Volvo the table usually lowers and the seat cushions turn into the mattress.
Can't see it lasting too long, travelling down a dirt road to a mine site.
I thought I missed it too.
At 30 years at 7% that's $2,400.00 a month. Your not going to get a loan for 30 years, maybe 15. So that $4,800 a month. Then the insurance is probably 25 grand or MORE a year. You would have to be hauling 24/7 365 days a year to make it work and then be able to maybe make 50 grand a year. No thanks, I'll take a nice HOME for that kind of money.
Im sure the table turns into a bed. Like in most rvs. Or fold down over the table.

Imagine having to turn that thing at a traffic light.
Its not traffic lights you have to worry about, it's tiny docks built by people who have never seen a semi truck before.
It's hard to get a normal sleeper truck in some of them.
One or two, that while I did get docked, I'll never go back to.
I've had to rescue loads that grain haulers(pulling normal dry vans) couldn't get into the dock with, they tend to like their trucks with a stretched out frame, which would make them about the same length as these super-sleepers.
Then there is the weight issue, they can only put about 38k-40k lbs in the box, I average 42k on my back hauls, that would be... problematic.
No problem, just watch the last wheel on the back when you make the turn or better setup to make a turn. No biggie.

That way when you are prospecting for a new rig, you can look at it and get an idea of how your, or your company's trailers will interact with the tractor.
