#Freightliner #Cascadia #Trucking
My two bits worth:
When my grandfather came to this country in the late 1800s it was common for a small businessman to live in the apartment above, or behind his shop.
So, you are carrying on an old tradition, having your apartment attached to your business.
I am very impressed with your rig. I hope it serves you well.
So very cool. Thank you so much
Bernard Dier The late 1800s? Soooo that’s after the natives were killed and the Africans were slaved, what shop did they get to live over or behind?
TheCraftyTrucker how do i go about finding an owner with a truck like this to run fir?
@@whodonit They got sleep in the stables with the other livestock.
Bernard Dier nobody asked you
These two are living the dream they love what they do for a living, and they have a nice Mobile Apartment, Godspeed You two
MCPD MCPD 👌
MCPD MCPD I agree!!
MCPD, let me offer my most heartfelt respect to you, and law enforcement everywhere. I am a black guy who grew up in the inner city, my mother was a single Mom with three boys, on welfare for a while, the whole scenario. And I say this because I want people to realize that even though you come from that environment, yes, you still are supposed to have respect for the men and women who put that uniform on. Just like all black men aren't thugs, all white cops aren't racist. Straight up.
@david Haag @Karl Leigh @Rachel Whitaker Thank you
What they do for a living?
I just want to say to all truckers, “thank you for what you do!” What a cozy home on wheels, your dogs sure feel at home.
This is exactly how I would want to do my over the road if I were in this profession ! kudos
I know you have heard it several times but from an old trucker like myself, you can see you spent a lot of time planning and planned well. I've owned several trucks over the last 50+ years and your rig is top of the line. Pray the load Gods are good to you both.
Its 3:30am..idk how this came up in my feed...or why I'm watching it..but here I am.
Edit: cool truck, well done. Am glad I came across it
It’s 2:15p and I feel the SAME way.
Hi Seth, Me too! Up so late, this is so awesome, best medicine for a calm sleep.
I wish they would let me travel along...💤💤💤
6/9/20....Don't know how my phone found your wonderful video---bit I'm so glad it did.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK & GREAT SLEEPER!
I'm a born & raised Atlanta girl.
My Dad hauled produce for the Army during WWII....Later he had 18 wheelers & his own mechanic. He always wanter a RED PETERBUILT so I had the local dealer park a new one put in front of the business for his 70th birthday....Then the dealer stayed for his lunch/🎂 party & let him drive the Peterbuilt out I-20 to the AL line & back.
My Dad died of COPD @ 87 & NEVER FORGOT HIS PETERBUILT BIRTHDAY!
He would have LOVED your whole set-up!
I am so happy for y'all. My dear wife and I first tent camped, then moved up to rigs. We were young and healthy. We sadly sold our last rig because it was becoming too much to manage, especially for her. It's so cool that you have combined your business to support the travelin' lifestyle. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the walk thoughs; it reminded me of our units and how excited we used to get.
I am not a trucker, but enjoy listening to you folks and hearing about trucking. I worked 22 years for a assembly plant that put verious parts together for the semi-trucks and it's great to meet the drivers.
I'm excited for yall! Being single and a trucker that no longer likes renting an apartment, this rig would be perfect for me in a OTR scenario.
Otr?
Simplynikkitra Trucker lingo: Over The Road
On the road
I here ya! I go out for 2 months at a time often being able to just hop in the back for a shower or being able to actually cook a real meal would be a dream. But until recently for me im 140,000lbs fully loaded so that would be a pipe dream. I just bought my own deck now switch to flat deck full time, going to be nice only being 80,000lbs or lighter.
I drive a desk all day in corporate America so I know little about the logistics. Can a single person run expediter trucks like this? I would figure that part of the 'expedited' work would rely on a pair of drivers, so one can rest while the other is on the clock (moving the load much more quickly). I've seen other expanded cab / custom trucks like this that look like they could pull normal trailers, but see people mention that it limits the weight / trailer length options, which might limit OTR loads.
It almost seems like expanded sleeper cab means you should run expediter loads and expediter loads mean you need to be on a team, but I might be missing something or just not understanding.
There’s a saying in Africa that goes like, The only woman that knows where her husband is at night is a widow. This truck condo changes that saying.
🤔
Dang that's kind of sad.
woman...man...husband...wife. prison is the other possibility.
dunno what part of Africa you are talking about but in my Africa we don't have that saying . Africa is a very diverse continent with diverse cultures don't mislead people by thinking that all Africa is the same. it's lie saying peru is same thing as Canada which is not even close. specify your region/country thank you.
What part of Africa and tribe says that?
I'm a late 50... guy who is at the CDL stage of his journey. This was fantastic to see and I am so happy for you both, and now have something to dream about.
Home is where the heart is. Hang on to one another and keep on truck'n. LOL
The babies are all the salesmen I need. How cute, laying there living life. It's so nice to see hard workers showing a lifestyle that is really built off your own backs. Good on you, and good luck! Safe travels!
Thank you so much
what are you talking about?
It’s a beautiful little home .It is just amazing what they can put in a truck now.Anyway you should be very proud
It's ginormous!!!
You guys are so awesome together. It's so great to see a couple like yourselves living your dreams. The truck is just beautiful and so practical with so many cabinets!! You were smart to get the stand up fridge. Good luck and God bless from AZ.
I had a tractor with a generator years ago and it was noisy. I went to Napa and got a Honda muffler and simply slipped it over there tailpipe. Made a huge difference in noise and helped with living in New England during the winter I needed it running when I was home for the heat and to keep the engine coolant from getting too cold. The neighbors stopped complaining about the noise.
This is exactly what I wanted to do a couple years ago when I retired from the military. Let the truck help pay for the "RV" lifestyle. Wife wasn't hearing it so I just pay, pay, pay to pull a 5th wheel and live on the road. 145k for a truck and trailer that can never generate a dime of revenue.
There is a way, to make money moving 5th wheels and RV. But there are really sticky rules. So you can make money with out CDL. You're wife might live this. More freedom and no doing the get CDL and pay up get licences.
actually thinking about doing that very thing right now. 57 time for a career change
Come get me I will go with you and make this year dream because it has been a huge one for me.. hopefully your Wife is more understanding now..
Plus I live in Wisconsin if that's what the G stands for .. Green Bay Packers
@@Regina0964 The G is University of Georgia, my college from what seems forever ago. We live on the road pulling our fifth wheel along. This is our last year doing it. Time to buy a house and settle down.
Im from CA and I agree with your shirt. your rig is the best of both worlds. i used to see these type fedex rigs for customer critical loads and thought they looked good.
This is totally going on.You guys have great taste. This would be the only way to have a job on the road. I found a great ideal for food storage. Family Dollar has every shape of plastic baskets. I put food in the baskets according to the types of food that is same. You can even stack the baskets. Have you ever purchased something at the store. Got home and threw it in the fridge. I have baskets with labels. I have a basket for grapes,apples,fresh salad, sandwich meats and cheese. Ect but you get the ideal. And you never have to worry about forgetting a food item that gets lost in back of the fridge. God bless and stay safe.
I love your new condo and most of all I want to tell you Thank You for making sure our lives are never without all the things we love... food to toilet paper. You guys ROCK!!! Be safe and know that you are greatly appreciated more than you know especially by me. I can't live without TP ... LOL.
I think my favorite part of the video is your shirt! They need to make one for Colorado. Love the video, stay safe you two!
Nice rig. Glad I could help. A home away from home. For my trucker friends and their families. That gave me a ride. While hitchhiking which they stopped and gave me a ride. Oh how I love them All.
Just randomly discovered your video. No idea what you’re doing now, 4 years later. But I really like everything about your rig 😊 Thank you for sharing! Retired long haul 1 yr ago 😊
I’m only 2 minutes in and this truck is absolutely beautiful and perfect I love the white paint and the interior color scheme is beautiful VERY MODERN NOTHING BETTER THEN A 2019 TRUCK
I kinda like my 2004...and my 1984.
What about a 2020
Yay. I'm so stoked to see ya,ll getting the new truck. You guys really deserve it. Success is a beautiful thing.
Nice setup
Thanks so much Joseph!! 💙
Truck fitter for over 20 years people all moan about america but no one builds a sleeper like them . Fantastic vehicle . enjoy .can clearly see its got the dog seal of approval .
Recently retired after 40+ yrs. and 5 million miles! I haven’t missed it at all till watching this video. Don’t worry I not coming back it’s way to enjoyable doing NOT A DAM THING OR HAVING TO BE SOMEWHERE!!! Who knew doing nothing could be so enjoyable!!!
You guys are perfect for each other. You both have the same interests. I love it. Lucky You two. Good Job
You've surely done some good planning with this truck. Dividing the box into two sections, very Crafty. Enjoy the space in the cab as you work and take breaks!
@Hello Allan how are you doing
This is actually an RV (and I know RVs) with a money-making truck box behind it. Love it!!
I wish my son Andrew was alive to see this. He was a big rig trucker, from Fresn, Cal 1987 to Nov 2008. He was sick for the last 3 years with his lungs. Did not smoke or drink. But ge had OCPD.A good Christain man. Drove for different people thru the years. Thank you
May he Rest In Peace ❤️❤️
WOW! Congratulations guy's this truck is a dream. Take care!
It is
An the western stars an peterbilt kw
Hi Donna....greetings from michigan...Scott
You need a big aftermarket bumper for that pretty truck.
And a seperator for the counter to the bed or your bed will get wet and stuff..
Wow. Having that camper would make being a truck driver 1000% more enjoyable I am sure. Working and living in that would be legit.
It really does make it more bearable
I was looking to some tiny house videos, and your video was on the feed. I’ve had told my husband long time ago, that it will be a great idea to have an 18 wheeler as a tiny house!
I love your home on wheels/work! My hubby’s dream is to own a truck and do that job. I told him I don’t mind to tag a long with kids and everything. I wish he doesn’t wait to long to do this! It will be a dream come true! And 👍to that shirt! Yes, to that! Greetings from Texas!
That is a huge sleeper
I know nothing about trucking or hauling or life on the road however, I came across your video and absolutely loved it! I found it fascinating and very well done.
Awesome job , definitely a new subscriber here!!
Me too
Otr trucking isn’t for everybody. Can’t look at it as a job, but as a lifestyle. It’s great for a couple and or single person with no kids at home.
Good luck

This is so neat. I live 3 miles from I-10 in Benson Az. Travel to Tucson alot. Always wondered what the inside of these areas were like. Now I know. Love it.
Me again. Still love this. Happy travels.
Amazing truck. I love the way both of you explain all of the features of the truck. Bless both of you and safe travel!
I absolutely love your truck, that is the nicest truck I have ever seen a tour of.
I worked at a General mail facility, tho contractors had the crappiest traitors and those roll up doors were always getting jammed and broken. I love how you guys covered every possible situation.
Small world, I worked at GMI too
You are a couple and best friends. Wishing you guys all the best in your future travels.
I’ve been a truck mechanic for 35 years,I’m glad to see these great changes,it used to be really bad
This video is out for ~24 hours and has 14 thumbs down???? No clue how anyone can hate a beautiful truck, well guided tour, and very happy hosts? So happy for you two, safe travels and looking forward to the new chapter. Great job on the rig. Very well thought out.
Thanks so much!! The thumbs up always outweigh the the thumbs down. We know & appreciate all the real #CraftyCrew who show us their love 💙
Cast Loft Here you have a clue: there's nothing wrong with the truck.
12:50 Also, roll up doors like to pull your back out... barn doors all the way for me.
Roll up doors decrease roof opening.
I just retired from driving doubles and this right here is outstanding.
My parent's would have loved this truck! They traveled long haul together with my baby brother!
just an quick Idea,
Mark the floor & both L/R side walls with a “Stripe” of some kind to display the “AXLE” centers.
So you can gauge the pieces set in the box for weight displacement centering.
Give it the football field stripes job!!
What a beautiful home, congratulations! What a great way of life. Stay safe! Great video, thanks!
Ive been on the road for months now and I've only seen a handful of these trucks with the cab and most of that time its a woman driving it bravo to the ladies 😁 I'm happy with whatever I get but the extra room Will be nice.
It is nice to hear a trucker talk about “giving lights” to thank people when they let you know it is safe for you to change lanes!! Thank you from a long ago truck driver! Be safe!
My girlfriend and I were talking about this same thing the other day. Both of our parents drove for many years. We just naturally do that for truckers. Rarely ever gets lights back, but I like them to be able to know without having to guess if they can come over.
Saw one of these bad boys at my job recently! Pretty neat!
Congratulations, I love the new condo. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you are so happy with your truck , rightfully so !
So happy for you. Thanks for a heartfelt warm tour!
As I said before..if anyone deserves it it’s you two....happy trails!
😊
"Life begins after coffee"....My people!
Never watched a sleeper video before. It was fun to watch. Looks like a good life. Positive energy from the both of them.
Wow, you do have a interesting job and I’ve never seen inside of one of those sleeper trucks, very nice indeed.
I have exact same comforter on my at right now!…as I lay in my bed watching this…lol
A great show of your truck, good job.
That would be a good motor home, toy hauler ?????? If you could get
A 13 speed trans.
Hello y'all I love it.When I was driving I had a 96 inch condo but I was it driving it it was great.that was when I drove truck back in the whoa a while ago.But love it y'all enjoy the world.peace
Thank you
I watch tiny homes videos and some how found your video. You have a lovely rig. It’s nice to see you made it into a home. I know it must get lonely when truckers drivers drive alone.
I was an local LTL trucker until a work injury took me out of the drivers seat, had to give up my CDL license, it sucks and I miss it sometimes, many years of hard work u till that fateful day. Happy trails to you and the Mrs, awesome truck, be safe out there drivers!!
I was watching off road camping, but I'm glad I was brought to this channel. I really enjoyed this video. I hope you guys enjoy this for many years. You all work hard and deserve the very best. Drive safe!!!
Thank you so much.
That is very one-of-a-kind. Reminds me of the rig Evel Kenivel used to tour in.
You guys are great! Today was the first time I've seen you... and I'm not a trucker, but I loved watching you! You're like the friends I'd love to have! No matter what - keep being... YOU!
Thanks so much :)
Enjoyed the vid. I'm a retired desk jockey, and always wondered what life on the road was like. I can surrepticiously live that through you guys abd others. Whats a bonys is you really like each other. Thats half the battle. Live long a d prosper!
Thank you. Glad to have you along
Congratulations. Your hard work paid off..that's a beautiful truck
Thanks Doc :)
Simply over the moon for you beautiful people. Much success and happy truckin with your new crafty condo. Now get on with puttin the miles on. Keep on truckin. Peace🍀☘️
We appreciate that very much! Thank you 😊
I pray your ok now and enjoying your life .
For me I miss you 2 a lot but as long as your happy it's ok .
Take care and remember the ones that loved your video and miss you.
I am a retired Landstar O/O and love the setup on your rig. The young lady just exudes excitement. God Bless.
Hey guys, I have the same APU and like Jason said it is really loud. What I did with mine was added a muffler.
I had an exhaust shop add 6’ of exhaust pipe to get it further away from tractor and they put a small muffler for a Honda car on it, it’s half as loud now and works fine, I had carrier sign off on the idea before installing muffler just to make sure I wasn’t voiding any warranties and they had no issues with it....just thought I would share that with ya all.
That’s a great idea.
If you don't use the front section alot it could be used for a portable work shop and storage for bikes or light weight scooters to use in down time. Loved the video.
Y'all make me so stinking happy. This is a killer setup. Having spent about 4-5 yrs driving straight trucks for delivery in state and sometimes ajoining states (im in AZ) , the idea of this kind of setup is so appealing. So much more simple than tractor trailers in so many ways. I just didnt realize you could make straight trucks into long haulers
Of my time driving them, i spent 2 yrs driving for a moving company. I'll tell you right now, that seperate section in the back of the box is going to be a gold mine. Especially with how clean and organized you two are; those high dollar clients will love it.
Anyway, awesome video and congratulations. I now need to revisit my life goals now....
Very nice,,, well done,,, I was a trucker for 5 years but my lady made me to come home and not to do tracking anymore...but I do miss the life on the road, love what you guys did with the truck, spacious area..love you guys condo
.. Hope one day I come to meet a gal who wants to get on the road with me and I'll dump this one... sending love from Miami..
I have a friend whose Dad has one of these trucks, a little older. It is soooooo cool! I saw this pop up in my feed so I decided to look and see how they compared.
The truck looks fantastic, best of luck with it and safe travels.
Wow guys!! I love it! You two are so blessed to be living your dream!!
It’s amazing how much 2 feet more looks inside your new truck from the truck y’all had before. I checked out the fan install and was seeing how small it looked compared to the one y’all have now. Big difference.
Home on wheels. I wish RJ had one this nice during our days on the road. Good luck and be safe on the road.
You will prevent “Cross Contamination” of freight with the separate freight compartments.
Works. Well with chemicals and food products.
In the Marines on ship we say take a Navy shower wet down , soap up , rinse off . Good old days 🕶
In WWII ships, if damage to their distillation equipment resulted in suboptimal potable/fresh water production, the first priority was always to the engineroom. Under extreme fresh water shortage, especially in subs, a basin of water, maybe 0.5 gallon of fresh water was allotted to each sailor, every ? days, for personal use, if available. If the ship or sub produced enough fresh water for a Navy shower, each sailor was allotted a 1 minute shower. From my Navy Bootcamp, Damage Control training: max 10 sec to wet face, head to toes; close shower valve, lather feet to head, face last; open shower valve, rinse face, head, down to feet, using what's left of your 1 min of water. In 1969 the USS Tulare LKA-112 returning stateside carried so many troops, that many had to camp out on the main deck. "Hollywood" showers and other water wastage was forbidden. Water usage by the crew and troops onboard, never threatened the ship's production capacity. I was there as an EN3, in A gang.
Thank you! I’m 76 yrs Michigan. Before I found you on UT did not know there was a market for your size. You are a Bad Ass/Tough Ass couple. May Jesus Bless you and keep you! (91st psalm)🤗🇺🇸🇨🇦
Just stumbling across this beauty on CZcams. God bless you guys in the road and hang in there! Let's go brandon! 🏁🏁🏁
I am so glad you showed up on my newsfeed, first time viewer and I absolutely love you two! Subscribed and can't wait to see your adventures in that big, beautiful mobile condo.:)
Awww thank you so much. Welcome to our adventure
It's a gorgeous set up for sure!
Don't forget to put a paper logbook in the drivers overhead glovebox. You have to carry one. They will ask for one when you get a inspection.
Chris Wallace yep they got me because I didn’t have 1
I always used the loose leaf log sheets. I missed trucking for years after the accident that shut me down in 2004, but from what I hear other drivers say about e-logs, and all the new dumb-ass rules, I sure don't miss any of that nonsense.
Best of luck to you guys still out there, go home safe every time.
If you need to be reminded if you’d, you have no business holding a cell...
Wow..I would love having the 120 sleeper just by itself to cruise around America.
I love the decor. Whoever chose the fit and finishes did an outstanding job.
Congrats on the new truck it looks so nice, I love the tag holder for the truck looks nice Wayne, I'm so happy for you all, safe travels 💛🤗💛🤗💛🤗💛🤗
Thank you so much Bonnie 😘
Congratulations y’all! Awesome truck! And as a fellow Texan, Jason that T-shirt rocks!!!
You could make the cargo wall removable and secure it with z track making the compartments configurable
Spent about a year over the road with my ex and I loved it all even though he had a standard sleeper tractor.
What I would give to have experienced that year in this. The luxury but also the experience as a whole. Wow!
Finally, I always wondered why this design did not exist.
It makes sense as sleeper trucks are already so comfortable, and designed for high milage, just make the sleeper cab a lot bigger, and boy can it tow anything.
I was wrong, i thought it was a giant camper
Listened to this sorry I am blind so I just got confused. I thought I found a living in truck never mind it sounds good for your business good luck have a good time hope it makes all your work more comfortable
Love the rig and setup. I would suggest you to get a candle plate warmer so the smoke from the candles doesn't leave the black residue that tends to build up over time.
Seems like a good life! Nice rig set up, making money with your home, traveling and seeing country. I like it .
Everything is so organized I love it great job ! This is living the dream with the fur baby included. 😊
That's way nicer than the Landstar trucks I see like that down here in Northeast Florida! I see a few of them in the TA where I work.
Landstar is all owner operators, no company rigs
What a beautiful truck you guys should be proud, Peace Love and Expediteee!
@Hello Orin Kerr how are you doing
Wow, really nice! You guys have used your hard work and savings in having a nice home away from home! Excellent job on flipping the truck and the tour, so thank you much for sharing!
There is so much crap on CZcams -- SO thanks for making a old man happy -- GOOD JOB THANKS = X Trucker 50 years ago !!
