[@ictpilot]

@@iradoss3179 I've never heard of ARI having poor quality.

[@PublicSafetyInc]

Ictpilot Ictpilot then you haven’t been listening. There’s a reason ARI only builds on airide. Their structure can’t withstand the torque of the frame flexing. Their gelcoat is passable but that’s about it. They can’t build a lounge body. The won’t add additional sleeper doors for access because it would compromise their structure. Having owned Eagles and multiple ICT’s and spending years with the most renowned fleets for big bunks I absolutely will not own an ARI.

[@ictpilot]

@@PublicSafetyInc Been following ARI for years and talking to several owners, and you're the first to say they're poor quality. There's been some a few things owners talk about ( door hardware needing fixed etc.) But nothing major. Some of the same hardware used by the big bunk sleeper guys are the same as used in the RV industry.

[@PublicSafetyInc]

Ictpilot Ictpilot I’ve worked with dozens of owners for years. The subframe is weak. They’ve improved some over the years. But torquing the sleeper frame, as any hard mount will, destroys the sleeper due to being under built. I dislike an airide big bunk. We,be switched 2 to bushing mounts. An ARI would shred itself. We’ve seen it. They broke from IVT, which broke from Double Eagle, to build cookie cutter mass produced sleepers. They did negotiate some great exclusivity agreements with Rush and others. But their engineering is under built. Take a look at the framework on one under construction. They’ve always put to much emphasis on low weight and low production cost. In the world of custom sleepers you get what you weigh for.

[@donkmeister]

That thing is amazing; I used to have an apartment that was smaller. How does that work to usable vehicle length/payload when you're working with it? With that wheelbase I'm guessing overall the truck is nearly 50-feet long. Here in the UK the entire tractor-trailer combination is limited to 44 tonnes (97,000 lbs) and 18 metres (about 60 feet), I'm guessing your limits are a bit longer and heavier! 😃

[@FutureGPTranscoDriver]

there is no length limitation for trucks they can be as long as they want What is regulated is your trailer length which is limited to 53 feet but can differ depending what state your in like lets say you live in Utah your trailer length limit is 120 feet and your whole vehicle weight limit (truck and trailer) is 136,000 lbs so this truck will struggle to do heavy haul because of its weight but can easily pull light trailers like Dry Vans and certain Tankers.

Was just trying to figure out if trucks like this would cause any jealousy, resentment, or other ill-feelings from other truckers (esp at truck-stops)

[@FutureGPTranscoDriver]

@@SomethingEpic777 well something like this is restricted for what it can haul. This particular truck will be very heavy and won’t be able to haul heavy trailers and loads

[@ianjones8953]

Watching here in the UK that's one beast of a kenworth truck ✌👍

[@Baker3939]

The buyer was out of money so they had to install wooden rear wheel fenders instead of aluminum or chrome ones 🤣 Joking aside, this rig is a unit. As a trucker, I'd love to have one for retirement. Its a truckers dream to have one of these babys! Screw the RV's!!! 😆

[@michaelsmiley15]

My understanding is when you actually elongate that frame as much as you have to to accommodate this extra long condo unit you're hauling efficiency is significantly affected

[@twinlee2603]

When I hit the lottery, this is what I’m going to buy

[@joeseymour4073]

Yeah me too. And I'd say "let's go one inch longer and add a second, higher roof about 1/3 of the way back." Lol

[@lornperkins4270]

I want one for Christmas

[@876trucking]

Same here

[@keithhatch56]

Why?So you can pay storage to park it in warehouse

[@BigAl6464]

Must get in some awful situations turning at traffic lights be a headache

[@ShaunWaveGo]

saw this in person at White’s Truck Stop/Petro in Raphine, Virginia will post what i got.. 😊soo cool!!

[@Earthlight777]

What a beautiful rig / rv MPG : hold my beer .

[@ME-kr7sm]

What a masterpiece!!!!

[@443534414]

WoW,there’s no place like home ❤️

[@erikbunty2016]

Even while you're on the road.

[@robertpersall98]

Cool, so you can haul an empty 28 foot trailer!

[@haj811]

lotsa overhead, little return!

[@lelandunruh7896]

The proper bathroom in this one makes it the first I've seen in which I could actually live for decent periods of time.

[@PeaceMastah]

Elegant is an interesting word to describe this truck.

[@R6-D2]

Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around It's the easiest way that I've found Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown But I need forty acres to turn this rig around

[@LOUCABRASI]

And a mule....

[@jpo473]

He need a oversized flag just for the tractor lol. That's strictly flat bed

[@paulmcfeeters5554]

I'm thinking haul wind turbine blades. Few extra feet who will notice?

[@MrAirblown2009]

Nice looking rig. I bet your loads are limited though, cause of the extra weight of the cab.

[@movieguy3000]

Do you make up the money on the multiple places you can't pick up/deliver to?

[@RichardMcLaren]

I love these things. Totally awesome and completely ridiculous at the same time

[@rp75heavy]

U have to put A "NO Right Turns On Red" like the school buses... lol!!

[@kellypenrod2979]

I will be greatly surprised if the next time you see it it don't have Southern Pride signs on it, and haulinga jet engine.

[@thekidhartford5266]

Yup...for sure...big $$$$

[@daryllcooper2695]

They do have some killer rigs

[@joeseymour4073]

I don't think this truck will be running for Southern Pride but if you haven't been to ARI's site recently, they have some nice shots of the huge SP rigs in their slideshow. Awesome stuff.

[@lornperkins4270]

Shiitt yeah they have some big boss type rigs..I drool everytime I see them or reliable carriers go by

[@missmymountain]

He's pulls moving vans.
