2018 peterbilt custom ARI super sleeper

[@umeshkrishna1924]

Hi any vecancy heavy driver pls help me sir

[@Tchristman100]

I had a similar setup-90" Kenworth Aerodyne cabover with a 96" drom box behind. I had shower, toilet, refer, microwave, sink, 75gal water, 25gal gray water, 20gal toilet tank. And also with the bunk bed in the cab-could sleep 4-all on a 235" wheelbase, but weighed 25,000lbs for the tractor, and total empty weight was 46,000lbs. So I could haul 34,000lbs-which was way more than I usually hauled because I was with the Van Lines (where you see most of these kinds of trucks). Believe me when I say, once you can use the toilet, shower, shave, eat and sleep in the truck, ALL anxiety and stress goes away from trucking-it actually becomes fun!

[@toddharding5942]

If you never had a big sleeper truck you have no idea how it changed trucking for us. Love my big sleeper truck

[@thereal1loudmerc335]

Currently, I'm a bus driver but do most driving within the city. And as recent as last year, I've been thinking of trucking. And seeing trucks like this has renewed my thinking of jumping into it. Cuz my whole concern was the sleepers and how big they are. And in the past alot of them look small. Seeing this bigger one in this clip, WOW!

[@lesflynn4455]

In 2021 that is still an awesome truck. I could live in that solo for the rest of my life.

[@fatcat7303]

Kinda seems like a bargain at 275 grand when a top of the line f series pickup is 100 grand.

If you want a truck like that do not buy it from a lot, order it. It takes about 6 months for sleeper to be built but then you have what you want not what a dealer things you need

Im a loner too...drove over the road for a year until i had some legal problems and had to come home.. i was an electrician before trucking and its been a year removed from trucking and i dont know if i should go back.. some good some bad, personally, it is a little too lonely if you have loved ones out there waiting for you.

[@fkennedy02]

These big sleepers are fantastic but there’s a lot of wasted space above,I’m surprised no ones made a two floor model where steps take you down and the bed is underneath the living area up top.

[@lydiacapps709]

@Hello Fkennedy how are you doing

[@Mdydaf55]

Nice truck. It's the minimum that'll do for cross country haulin. The turning angle on the wheels seals the deal. Worth every penny

[@pamfarris1863]

This is geared for husband and wife teams. My fiancé is a OTR driver and I’ve been a stylist 20 plus years and about to start trucking school in August. I’m excited to start another career and nervous all at the same time. We have been looking and shopping big bunks for a year and we’ve decided ARI with side door is the way to go for us. The only downside to owning a big bunk is the shippers with tight spaces.

[@kellieowen6952]

I wouldn't get back in a standard sleeper for anything! I love our ARI sleeper!

[@truck554099]

Pam if you go with a side door it has to be at least 144 inch sleeper, also you lose counter space. Best thing to do is ask other big sleeper owners what they like and dont like. I am glad I got mine and never go back to regular sleeper again

This kind of set up is perfect for the NASCAR, NHRA Drag Racing, and other big sporting events or music concerts events. I'd like beds/ bedroom up top of the living area, you'd get more living space. Think of the money you'll save and the personal privacy you'll have, by not having to pay for a hotel or wait for your number to be called for a funky shower at truckers stations .

That truck is for special freight, you cant haul general freight with a tractor that weights 25000lbs

[@ruffrideralec]

James Scott i have a Volvo 780 tractor is 23,300 that truck is only 1200 heavier. With trailer I can haul 47,300 loads. Why wouldn't he be able to haul general freight? If anything would limit him would be trailer length. Overall length is limited without permit. As I didn't hear them mention the length I can't say for sure.

How does this work, weight wise? I mean can you have the extra weight waived in some shape or form (like you can for some APUs) or will this impact your payload capacity? How much impact would that be?

[@donmunro144]

My 587 weighs in at 20700. With a truck like this you need lite loads. So depending how the load pays, you either leave freight and money on the dock or don't take the load

Too heavy and too long for most freight

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

Firstly, nobody can tell from the video the axle ratings on that truck. If you can by some miracle chance, please inform us. For the post part there is no reason to upgrade any axles or wheels on that Pete given the weight of the sleeper. Secondly trucking is about moving freight and freight equals weight. Hence moving weight makes money in the trucking business for the most part as the original post mentioned. The sleeper reduces the amount of weight that can be carried hence money. Normally you see trucks like this carrying specialized freight like refers or home movers, that have low freight weights. So in other words, you insulted a person who knew what they are talking about, yet you are in fact the one that looks like the uneducated moron. Think before you post idiot.

[@itsjustnopinionok]

Michael Norton its for the old semi retired trucker who has money and has lived on the road all his life. Or people who haul concert equipment ect.

[@ictpilot]

Michael Norton I looked at a 780 Volvo with a 144" ARI. With half full tanks, full water and a van trailer, I estimated I could haul around 41,000, give or take a little. That's not too bad.

[@donaldducks3916]

Was wondering the same. I have one change of clothes in the truck and barely make weight once full on fuel. What loads is this capable of hauling?

They're cool and all that, seem mostly for chilling more than truckin. If you happen to be one of those full all the time, on the road, no house owning types then it would be nice to have as long as you never meet a loading dock in an alley. You other guys, well this industry has gone totally to shit. Specifically not the industry per-se but the people in it.Time was you would get on a radio and ask aa question and you'd get ten guys falling all over themselves to give you an answer. Usually ten different answers , but you could just pick one that seems to make sense. Now you get high strung assholes like some I see in some of these conversations who need to belittle their fellow drivers to bolster their own ego, if they even speak English.
