One thing that has been floating around the industry is “Why haven’t the sleeper manufactures has done a slide out yet!” Well check out this footage from ARI booth at MATS. . .
I drive for Swift Transportation and I can't wait to back into the parking space next to this BEAUTIFUL tractor! 🤓😁👍 Especially on the passenger side when he has that wonderful slide extended! 😉
You ain't gonna see one at a truck stop, it has all anyone would need on board so all a truck stop can offer it's driver is fuel. Drive in, fuel up and fuck off to a nice quiet spot elsewhere for the night.
@@ric66fb I agree with you wouldn't need truck stops with this setup but shit now a days its hard to park just anywhere. Cops in alot of states, especially east coast, make you move off shoulders, exit ramps, etc, and private lots hard to get into IF they let you stay there.
I drove with a sleeper big enough to sleep two. Buffalo NY to Brownsville TEXAS. Boarder to boarder..there and back in 6-7 days.... Absolutely drove me fucken crazy in my third month. But it was so simple.. Drop a trailer in a yard, pick up one in a yard.. There were 5 yards full of trailers to be moved, at each end..😳 I gave it up.. I wish I kept up with it.. now it’s bitch to get started up again at my age. It’s a very boring, very quiet life where watch road rush under your truck seems to be so slow you could run faster blows your mind. If you drive an 80.000 pound truck 90 mph mostly... no ifs about it.. you will smash people to death in that machine.
Not sure why they still call it a "sleeper"???? That was when there was a skinny rack behind the driver's seat where you could lay horizontally. Now these things are "living quarters".
This truck is amazing! I mean it is like a smaller version of my RV! Plus a slide, wow they are really making trucking look like it is FINALLY get the improvements truck drivers DESERVE!! This is great now what is the price tag...
LMFAO...Funny thing when I first started driving back in 2006, I used to hear the truckers say...Here comes a Swift truckers better get out the way..I used to wonder why🤔🤔🤔 Then one day I was parked at truckers stop here comes this driver and I must of watched him attempt to park 30-45 mins and YEAP what do you know...It was a (SWIFT) driver...So I get out to assist and he say do you think you can park it for me🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔 Ummm....I was in disbelief!! Finally, I was like I will direct you but ummm no sir not doing that!!!
Boa noite mais uma vez !!!! Esses Caminhões já são espetaculares. Mas esse, com slide out foi uma coisa de outro Planeta. Absolutamente fantástico. Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil mais uma vez......
I actually had thought about building a slide out. Good idea if you plan on living in the truck but downside is it probably gets around 6 mpg with all that extra weight.
Driverlesstruck@gmail.com, ,,,,,,,, Matt_Waddy ,,,,,,,,,,,, WHY SWIFT ANY DUMBASS THAT PARKS IN A TRUCK STOP SPACE WITH IT EXPANDED has NOOOOOO complaint if it gets torn off
Fred Lotz Just need to watch where you park. Park with the slider ride where another truck can't park next to you like on the end of a row in back that's curbed. It might be a little much for most of us, but someone who parks at terminal or customer it might work ok. Think Southern Pride or Forward air.
Robert Braid That's their problem if they aren't smart enough to make money. Your kind of an idiot aren't you? Do you think before you text? I'm an owner operater and make more money than most people In white collar jobs. Those hundreds of thousands of other drivers are my competition. You think I give a shit what kind of money they will agree to work for?
Boa noite !!!! Absolutamente fantástico. Vocês tem os melhores Caminhões do Mundo. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.... Abraço do Brasil....
Honest question here. What kind of loads do the people that own trucks with these gigantic sleepers haul? I know where I live (Baton Rouge) they'd have a hard time making a turn without a trailer. Just curiosity. Thanks for any info.
I want to see one that rises up instead of out. Longer makes it harder to get into tight places and truck stops are crowded, rv's have rising 2nd level, why not?!
RV haulers have a substantial user base, especially in motorsports and equestrian segments where sponsor dollars or wealthy benefactors purchase class 8 heavy duty trucks outfitted with RV quarters to haul the objects of their sport from place to place during a season. If you think this something, you should see some of the trailers. By no means are these trucks considered to be cost per mile effective in the competitive "for hire" carrier segment, although with the ELD now mandatory, the expensive emissions systems, and a driver shortage, expect to see more studio and RV style rigs that can sustain a family unit team in comfort for the 20 hours a day it can operate. Just the kitchen and bath amenities will save hundreds a month in truck stop hostage prices and lenders will write a mortgage structured note like any other RV or houseboat that has bath and kitchen features. The payment on this could be far LESS than a typical new sleeper.
Depends on what you are hauling. I know guys that haul classic cars make serious $$$$$. Which they should, I would be a complete nervous wreck hauling $20 million of irreplaceable vintage cars to Pebble Beach or Amelia Island.
I wouldn't know why you couldn't, I have seen several that do!! On a monster sleeper like this there might be some wheelbase/clearance issues however that CAN be modified!! Like we used to joke/Not joke--"If I have a cutting torch and a welder, I can make it work!!!! LOL
Pretty sure you still have to insure it as a Class 8 truck though. Would def be great at pulling, but not so great for a daily driver when you get somewhere, plus the insurance.
@@bigshow1616 The ones I know have them tagged as RV’s- don’t have to have CDL’s(makes a lotta sense, huh?lol) but I don’t know on the insurance deal…..
It's Just Beautiful! Am I correct, in that you wouldn't even have to slide the side if you didn't have the space! The kitchen would still be functional? The table, bunk side does not slide? Very Nice!
So, I've seen a few of these lately. I'm truly fascinated by this profession. What i don't understand is: why the focus on such a big kitchen? I'd focus more on a nice shower and comfy bed and then the rest. JMHO
@@brianoconnor9411 You must have been sorta rich to have a 18" in bed. I got board that lays accross the seats. I had sell my body just to get a pillow.
With a truck like that, you won't even get off the parking lot here in germany. 😆 Especially not with a trailer.. .... But he already looks very nice.... Would like to drive it....
Looks great under all those lights however, what will it be like after six months hard work, definitely no where like this stunner. Oh and it's over length for UK road's.
It's not meant for the UK ! Shame ! But then and again where would you drive it, the roads in blighty are finished, cameras, matrix signs etc everywhere, can't fart without it being "recorded" ? Saying that the amount of time spent in traffic jams (90%) would make this ideal, put your feet up, cook a meal, have a number 2 followed by a shower and still only moved 2 feet !?
Most truck stops I have seen the trucks are parked so close together you not might be able to "expand" more times than not. E log books put an end to driving longer than legally allowed so more and more are parked overnight now.. Worth the extra cost? Not sure.
gorgeous but prefer a slim slide door in bathroom & a pull out table for passenger side out of dash to do the paper work or what ever. make sandwich ect. as driving so not standing. yet to see a a mini washer in one, get that and be perfect. great space for the instant pot and air fryer.
These are often used for long haul moving, racing or TV crews. I know for fact the Monday night game crew have a couple of those. You just don't see a lot of these in freight hauling. That can by itself is already around 30 to 35 feet long. If you add 53' to it, you're not gonna be able to make a delivery in New York City.

Cracks me up reading comments from truckers who think all class 8 tractors MUST ONLY be used for commercial dispatch. Keep posting, its fun to read!
I mean you have to pay for it somehow. All that fuel and maintenance isn't cheap
To some truckers this is there home. To have a sleeper like this and being single it would be all you need
That's almost like a big Apartment.
When I was younger I wanted to be a long haul driver. Now, at age 56, I’d again reconsider it as a last profession if I could have this!!
I drove with a sleeper big enough to sleep two.
Buffalo NY to Brownsville TEXAS.
Boarder to boarder..there and back in 6-7 days....
Absolutely drove me fucken crazy in my third month.
But it was so simple..
Drop a trailer in a yard, pick up one in a yard..
There were 5 yards full of trailers to be moved, at each end..😳
I gave it up.. I wish I kept up with it.. now it’s bitch to get started up again at my age.

HA! No doubt.
Oh my God,this truck is a beauty,how I wish I can have one like this.
Ok...I'll take a stab at it.... "It's just one more thing for a Swift driver to run into, and tear up."
Sure
Wish

Finished

LMFAO...Funny thing when I first started driving back in 2006, I used to hear the truckers say...Here comes a Swift truckers better get out the way..I used to wonder why🤔🤔🤔

Looks like a solid investment as long as you stay busy.
It's like everything you could want in an efficiency apartment, but it's on wheels!
A very nice looking truck . Love the exterior colure
I actually had thought about building a slide out. Good idea if you plan on living in the truck but downside is it probably gets around 6 mpg with all that extra weight.
I get 7.4 mpg pulling 108,000 lbs gross with a day cab and 3 28' pup trailers! So that extra 3K lbs or so shouldn't make a difference!
How long before a Swift truck rips that off trying to back in next to you?
Driverlesstruck@gmail.com, ,,,,,,,, Matt_Waddy ,,,,,,,,,,,, WHY SWIFT ANY DUMBASS THAT PARKS IN A TRUCK STOP SPACE WITH IT EXPANDED has NOOOOOO complaint if it gets torn off

Why is there such a downplay on Swift drivers? I have encountered many drivers that were good, courteous, and professional.
Matt_Waddy lol swift
Wow …now that’s a slick rig 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh my gosh its so stunningly beautiful.
A well equipped truck.
I haven't trucked in years but when I did, I didn't have time for anything but the steering wheel or a bed, it's not a camping trip!
Robert Braid Yes it is if you do it right!
Do it right? Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of truckers out there that are just making ends meet!
Robert Braid, maybe it is used for other purposes. Like trade shows maybe. Or mobile equipment. Racing... It's a big world out there...
Robert Braid That's their problem if they aren't smart enough to make money. Your kind of an idiot aren't you? Do you think before you text?

An idiot? The smartest thing I did was get out of trucking... kinda makes you an idiot doesn't it so go fuck your self!
Shower, toilet & kitchen 2 burners sold me instantly
I've seen a truck like this from the outside but this one's takes the cake it's a work truck and a home own wheels talk about working from home 😮
It blows me away what you can get on a truck now...
Beautiful interior thank you God bless you
Those big time rodeo stars show up in these, dragging quarter million dollar trailers with horses and saddles that cost more than my house.
That’s when you make enough to have a butler serving you dinner while driving 😂

Alot of them take government contracts where they cant leave the cargo unattended ie: explosives, firearms, ammunition, hazardous materials.
with a slide out thats incredible!!
Yup. I could live in that.
Now that my friends is one beautiful truck to deliver product across country in that, what a dream 🌄 🛣️🌇

Beautiful.
That’s what I want to tour the country... no trailer... just cruise..
I’m a trucker and I drool over that
I want to see one that rises up instead of out. Longer makes it harder to get into tight places and truck stops are crowded, rv's have rising 2nd level, why not?!
That would be awesome then it retracts..
I wish that somday i have this truck ang travel for the rest of my life
I LOVE THIS TRUCK SO MUCH CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT MAKES THESE TRUCKS ARE AND WHERE THEY ARE SOLD FROM ?
If u have this kind of luxury kind truks, then why u need a home♥♥😁😁, A luxury trucks lover from india, Much much love from india
I think I would petition for a weight allowance for the sleeper kind of like what was done for the APU.!!

Extra weight of the sleeper mean less freight. Less freight means less dollars.
What a beauty! 🤩🤩
I have no idea why there's a bed in this because if you go that far into debt you will not have time to sleep
Accel Well are you serious, really is this the first video you watched in this series.
Depends on what you are hauling. I know guys that haul classic cars make serious $$$$$. Which they should, I would be a complete nervous wreck hauling $20 million of irreplaceable vintage cars to Pebble Beach or Amelia Island.
Its a pull out
It is for people who only have it as an expensive toy
@Mister Snow jajajajja
If my wife were still riding with me full time.....i would be glad to invest in a rig like that. Man thats nice
I could definitely get used to that!
A crapper! It's about time! What took so long?????
Great design, the exterior paint and finish are A++ and the technology is awesome. My question is, can these rigs be modified to pull 5th wheel RV's?
I wouldn't know why you couldn't, I have seen several that do!! On a monster sleeper like this there might be some wheelbase/clearance issues however that CAN be modified!! Like we used to joke/Not joke--"If I have a cutting torch and a welder, I can make it work!!!! LOL

You could travel the country in this beast as a holiday not even pulling a trailer.

you can really cut your expenses down by preparing your own food.
@@jeffreydkeller2792 I'd want to et out of the truck after hours behind the wheel and have a decent meal, see people.
Sweet a tip out on the semi truck fanscey sorry bout my spelling
That is a long way from a 36 " bed with a crawl through hole when I first started.
You must have been RICH if you had a 36" sleeper bed,mine was only 18" and we had to cut our own hole!
@@brianoconnor9411 You must have been sorta rich to have a 18" in bed. I got board that lays accross the seats. I had sell my body just to get a pillow.
this is bigger than some appartments in tokyo 😄
I have always wondered how the waste from the bathroom and shower are discharged.
Really nice but just how much does that whole thing weigh. Add a trailer and there is not much left to get to 80,000 lbs.
What does something like this truck go for praise voice the way this one is set up
Looks nice but how functional is the sleeper when the slide is in during normal operations ???
I love it, wish I had one. 😄😊
Es muy hermoso tiene todas las comodidades para un amo y señor de la carretera shocker saludos ha todos los brothers conductores gracias
Sleeper? Was I the only one who saw everything but a bed in there?
The bed is folded up against the wall along the dinette.
Got a question what is the cost of stretching the frame and what composite do they use for the sleeper aluminum or fiberglass
that ain’t no truck. thats a class C RV!
With a truck like that, you won't even get off the parking lot here in germany. 😆 Especially not with a trailer.. .... But he already looks very nice.... Would like to drive it....
magnifique... ما شـاء اللـه 🚛
Nice truck love the color
Not everyone is pulling freight for .90 cents a mile.
Incredible!
Great idea but at that price I dont want to fold up my bed every morning. I just want to waft to the drivers seat, via the shower.
You little princess. It folds with one hand. But be careful, you might break a nail.
Lets look inside this MARVEL...!! well for what it cost...first question I have is can we get the large wrinkles out of the upholstery...!!??
Looks great under all those lights however, what will it be like after six months hard work, definitely no where like this stunner.

The slide will get ripped right off the truck at the first truck stop. Good luck!
Most truck stops I have seen the trucks are parked so close together you not might be able to "expand" more times than not. E log books put an end to driving longer than legally allowed so more and more are parked overnight now.. Worth the extra cost? Not sure.
I'm not a trucker but my question is would this help truckers be more healthy by being able to bring and cook there own foods on the road ??
Most definately !
I don't have a super sleeper but I still cook my own food.
Just use truck stops to shower.
Oh WoW...I would have stayed in trucking if my Company provided These
